Hi everybody!
I've downloaded the brick breaker game by bornander. I'd like to convert it from .zip format to .exe format. Can some one please help? :sigh:

Thanks in advance!

Obivously you need to unzip it first. Does it contain source files (.java)?

Hi Kannan,

there are two projects at sourceforge.net that help you in making an exe wrapper from your java application:

JSmooth[^] and launch4j[^]

I hope this is helpful to you!

Best Regards,
Manfred

Try looking at http://www.ikvm.net/[^]

Extreemly useful, can even execute Eclispe on .Net, and convert jars into .Net executables :)

Good call! 5+
And I even had to do with that one too. How could I only have forgotten? :)

Try counting the number of tool and libraries you have used, and when you are finished - sometimes next week, you just know why a valuable gem can get lost in the ocean :)

This is a great point - a 5.
I a sense, this is a step away of Java platform, which I consider a good step.

Thanks SAKryukov!

If this is the result of a CodeProject article, then you should post any questions about it to the forum at the end of the article.
