Jar2exe add on

[nik312123]

As the title says, could you add exe exporting functionality from jar2app but one that works in converting to an exe application? That would be amazing! (It is just a feature request.)

"Converting to an exe application" would be more or less creating a new wrapper to start a JVM with your program. Seeing as this project is in python... Perhaps it would be appropriate to use py2exe to create that wrapper. Unless, of course, a better way to compile an EXE that suits this purpose exists.
One might also use this tool to add things like icon and version info.
Personally, I would't put much stock in such a feature. There are various alternatives such as Launch4j and JSW, although I admit they're probably not designed to be as simplistic as jar2app.

I actually tried using Launch4j, and it work well enough. However, the issue here is enough to make me reconsider: https://sourceforge.net/p/launch4j/discussion/332683/thread/5bbc2087/

I have never heard of JSW, so I'll look into that one, too.

Although, if it would be possible to make a version of jar2app that includes exe support, it would be a lot simpler, and everyone would probably be using it.

Hi!

Although I consider this to be a good idea, it requires its own independent package, as the technology is vastly different. It is essentially a different project. As such, it is unlikely this feature will be implemented soon...

[nik312123]

That is reasonable. I guess I will try to make it work somehow. :P
