If you need to just create a runnable file of your application, the JAR should be enough to do the job. You can export it as an executable jar with the manifest file and run it just by double cliking it.

Still if you require an exe, then you can use Launch4J. To create an exe, create jar file for your application using your IDE with proper MANIFEST file packaged inside. Then launch Launch4J and select your jar file and you should be able to create an exe easily.
