Convert Java Project to exe

[mthalis]

I created java project using netbeans now i want to convert it single executable file.

Java doesn't quite work like that... the closest you can get is to export it as a .jar file with a defined "main" method.

Netbeans builds your .jar automatically for you in the project's build folder, and I suspect it finds your main too for it, but if it doesn't, look into some of the build options, there's probably a way to specify the class that contains main.

I have to java files,one file contain jframe it contain main method
other contain file contain java method stuff.if this file can execute different platform it is better.also i have file reader text file inside my project folder.

Your project should also have a "build" directory with the .jar, if I'm not mistaken.

it built .jar file but i use external file,without it not working can i integrate it.that mean i want to include text file too.

[CptPicard]

Oh. In that case, include that file in your project (like copying it into the classpath with your Java source for example), and Google for "loading resources from classpath" or "... from .jar files" or something like that.
