Is it possible to somehow pack a java program into an exe to run it on a system without a JRE?

Answer 1

launch4j.sourceforge.net

Answer 2

Hello!
To pack in exe - launch4j
if your application uses JavaFX, then there is the possibility of creating an exe artifact.
As for launching the application without jre (I don’t know if jre is needed if I run it from exe - I’m still learning java), but I met this article - https://eax.me/java-without-jvm/
i.e. you can pack jvm too... I would like to hear the opinion of experts

Answer 3

There was a C example in the SDK in source.zip, a long time ago I used this code to make an exe. Plus there were third-party solutions that compile java bytecode to native (JET just enough time) excelsior-usa.com/products.html
