Is there any free tool to convert jar into exe ?? I searched but couldn't find effective software all are giving only trial versions!

Thanks!

An EXE does *not* work on *nix or OS X. [Java Web Start](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/java-web-start/info) **does.** — Andrew Thompson, Apr 14 '12 at 11:10

Although I never converted jar to exe, but while searching for the term, I found the following free utility:

JSmooth .exe wrapper JSmooth is a Java Executable Wrapper. It creates native Windows launchers (standard .exe) for your java applications. Download: http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/

I have installed J Smooth. My computer has JDK 1.7 & JRE 1.7. but it says need java 1.4 or above to open & try to download. Why is that ?? – Grant Apr 14 '12 at 11:09
