  How can I convert my Java program to an .exe file? [closed]

I have already a Java Project in Intellij.

I want to make a .exe Java file, but I did not find any solution yet for Java Projects. On the other hand, I have found many youtube videos in which they use a JavaFX Project to create an artifact which they will use to create a .exe file.

One of them is the following youtube video:
IntelliJ export JavaFX application to exe on Windows

My end goal is, that a user just double clicks on the file and a GUI opens. After entering some information the rest of the code should run. The file should be able to run to different windows systems, so this should not only work when installing special packages.

Did I chose the wrong type of project? To that I just read, that JavaFX will be discontinued.

I am confused in so many levels...

  JavaFX is not being discontinued as of yet. It has simply been removed from the JDK—as of JavaFX 11—and is now developed/maintained as a separate project.

  So I now have found another way to do it. After creating a .jar file a can create a .bat file. In there I can write the following 'java -jar name.jar' then the program will run. I still would like to avoid the creation of a second .bat file. Is there perhaps another solution?

You should first make an executable .jar file and then use an .exe wrapper on the jar. I've used

Launch4j in the past with great success. I haven't tried it on javafx yet, but there are many executable wrappers to choose from with a quick google search. If this is at all unclear, leave a comment, and I'll detail these steps more. Launch4j has an almost self explanatory interface, so I don't think you should have trouble as long as you're sure your .jar launches.

  No it does not. Executable wrappers make a single .exe file that contains your .jar and other asset files if you want.

  @Georgios If you don't have a GUI, then the .jar and .exe files should still run, but there will be nothing to see, as there is no console output showing. To say it another way, if your .jar writes to a file, that should still happen, but there will be no evidence of that happening unless you inspect the aforementioned file for what your program affected. If you would like to launch a cmd window or terminal programmatically from your java code, see this link. stackoverflow.com/questions/4688123/…

  @Georgios You can redirect the System output to a PrintStream and therefore, you can apply that to a JavaFX element or node, like a TextField, or Label. An example can be seen here: stackoverflow.com/questions/8708342/…
