before asking an SO question, you should always do a search to see if someone has asked it already. — Stephen C, Mar 19 '11 at 08:19
The question is unclear. If you compile a class with a main mehtod, it is executable. If your system isn't configured the right way, you have to fix that. You're talking about JAVA_HOME? Be precise! You want to create a batch- or script-file to start your program with a specific JAVA_HOME? Well, first, choose an operating system. — user unknown, Mar 19 '11 at 08:44

hi, how i can create executable file in java.

This has been asked and answered many times before on SO;
e.g. How can I convert my Java program to an .exe file?.

i want to set java home by creating my executable file.

That simply makes no sense. You cannot set an environment variable (e.g. $JAVA_HOME) or Java property (java.home) by creating an executable file.

so please give some example how i can set java home by executable file

That makes slightly more sense, but the question is where do you want to set it. If you want to set $JAVA_HOME / %JAVA_HOME% for a shell, you have to do this by executing a shell builtin-command, or by launching a new shell. You could set the Java java.homeproperty in a currently executing Java program, but there is no point ... it will most likely just break things.

Based on your past questions, I'm going to make a wild guess and that you are trying to set the $JAVA_HOME / %JAVA_HOME% for a Tomcat instance. If that is the case, then:

for UNIX you should set it in the wrapper script that launches Tomcat,
for Windows you can set it as a command option in the Tomcat service launcher;
