Is there a way to turn a jar file into an executable (on windows) that can run independently?

Question

I've tried GCJ but that was giving me problems and it's apparently not supported anymore, so what can I use? I don't want something that just wraps the jar file, but something that actually recompiles it into an independent exe. Is that possible?

Yes, there is!

Using GraalVM Java applications can be compiled into native standalone executables (will be demonstrated).

I literally specifically said I did not want a wrapper – LogicLight123 Dec 26 '20 at 22:42
Do your part of the work. Graalvm can compile to native code. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Dec 27 '20 at 00:52
