Compile Java to Exe
Any Java developer knows that Java is a language with great strengths. Cross platform operation, a huge developer and support network and an enormous breadth of APIs. Unfortunately, Java developers also know that Java has an Achilles' heel - Deployment.
You can spend time making a truly great app that customers will love but if they can't download it and run it easily then most of the time they will never know about it.
Existing ways to delivery your app are either being phased out or blocked due to continuing security issues (Applets and Web Start) or just don't provide a good end user experience (Downloading a JVM from Oracle). Mobile operating systems have raised users' expectations for a seamless and easy to use experience and with what Java has available today, it can't provide that when it comes to getting your app up and running.
Java as a language still has huge benefits, but when it comes to delivering your app, it can't cope.
Add to this Java's other great weakness of being trivial to decompile and it becomes clear that there is a simple solution to both these problems - a native executable.
If you can compile your Java code to a native app then users can download and run like they would anything else, and you also get the benefits of making it more difficult to extract source code or sensitive information.
Converting your Java classes to a native app is no trivial undertaking though. You may need an installer or license for Mac, Windows and Linux, you may need to run the builds on those operating systems and you may need to set up 3rd party software to sign your app. You also need to set up the entire build before you can even test your app on a non-standard JRE to see what differences there are which will cause your app problems.
JWrapper gives you all the benefits of a native executable, without any of the difficulties. You can provide a PNG logo image, run your build on any operating system, and produce signed, branded native applications for Windows, Mac and Linux every time. Your app uses a standard Oracle JRE that you can be sure will work well, packaged and super-heavily compressed as a private JRE to give you a download size as good as any native compiler. JWrapper even provides JWCrypt code protection to give you the best possible protection for your source code and sensitive information or license processing code and keys.
