How do you convert a Java jar file to Windows exe executable file?

Question

I'm working a JavaFx GUI app but, since Java IDE's like Eclipse and Netbeans compiles its programs into jar format which only runs with jre, how does one convert the jar file into a Windows exe file so it would be installed a run like traditional windows app?

Answer 1

If you find an answer, I would love to here it as well.. In the meantime, I use JSMOOTH to change my .jar to .exe with a custom icon.. it is just a wrapper and the program will still use jvm to run, but you don't have to see that generic coffee cup
