May be this is some thing interesting-or may be stupid, I don't know.
This is what, I just created a very small java application(using javax.swing.*) and this is what it does, it asks two number inputs from the user and when the user press enter after that, it returns the sum of them on a default small window.
But I code this with notepad and saved as somename.java and I compiled this in cmd.
So this is my question, how can I run this application as a normal software like that we click on the notepad icon on the desktop and opens it.
Can I run this by creating something like an icon and click it to open my simple user interface.
I don't know much about java. So please explain me this. Thanks all.

  • You should read the documentation and find how to package your application into a JAR file.

    Assuming the user has java installed, they can then double click your JAR file and run it like you would with any other executable.

    First keep your java file in a jar file. For this,

    Then, in Excelsior Jet add this file to the classpath and thereafter everything is what you know
