"Any system", you have to go with executable .jar; Windows systems, you can go the .exe route. — Amadan, Mar 22 '16 at 05:40

Right click on your project in the package explorer, then click export. Select java in the list, and select as a Runnable Java Jar.

Here's a video that shows you step by step: Export Java program

This goes a bit more in depth about the export options you have. Here

The .jar file that is created for your app can be run on any system with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed but if you want to have an installer like any normal software, try downloading nsis https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/, a software that helps you create an installer for your app so that users can install it just like any normal software.
