 FAQ-O-Matic : General : Compiler :
I want to compile my Java application into .exe (or some other native binary form.) How do I do this with JBuilder? |
| JBuilder's compiler does not produce native binaries. If you want your application compiled directly into .exe format, you need to find a 3rd party product such as JOVE, JIKES, etc.
If you just want to launch your application easily, you can make use of the launcher provided with JBuilder itself. Here's a Borland FAQ that discusses it:

| Here's a partial list of native compilers:

| jikes is a native compiler, but not in the sense implied here. javac is written in java and compiled to bytecode, javac takes java source and outputs java bytecode. jikes is written in C/C++ and compiled to native code. Jikes takes java source and outputs java bytecode. gcc is a native compiler as implied here. It takes java source code and/or java bytecode and produces native platform specific binaries. http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ 2001-Jul-03 9:09pm daniel.carter@stonebow.otago.ac.nz | |
| For building native binary executables on Mac OS X,

You need to use MRJAppBuilder, which is a part of the freely available Mac OS X developer tools which you can get at http://connect.apple.com (free registration required). The included documentation is rather sparse (as far as MRJAppBuilder is concerned), but you can read a pretty good tutorial article on O'Reilly's Mac DevCenter at:

| Eric Trepanier recommended MRJappBuilder for compiling Java to native binary, but it is not a native compiler -- in fact it isn't a compiler at all. It's just a packaging tool that you can use to place your Java bytecode in an OS X "application" wrapper; the wrapper takes care of invoking the java interpreter with your bytecode.

JBuilder won't compile just one file. No matter what, it compiles more stuff than I want. How can I make JBuilder compile only the file I want compiled?
