Today I will tell you how to run java applications as exe files . As you know, java applications are delivered as jar files that are not executable files, but are special files with a set of instructions for a Java virtual machine. But this is not the point. First of all, why is it necessary? I encountered this need when I used my favorite jEdit editor. I wanted to link php files with this editor, however, linking to the jar file is not possible. Also, the need arises when you need to link any program with a context menu or, for example, call the editor as a standard editor in the browser.
