netbeans is a great IDE

and why .exe? .jar files are nice and are multiplatform

Java doesn't use exe's afaik.

Minecraft uses an exe launcher that just runs all of the required .jars.

Netbeans, Monodevelop, Sublime Text, even. All you need is a compiler.

You can't exactly make EXEs with Java, but the approximate equivalent is a JAR (JAR is just a ZIP file with a certain file structure).

Just make a .JAR of your Java and press a bunch of buttons and you got it :D

Oh hey a good guy named Eepos wanted to point something out:
You will get 18,000,000 metric forget tons of errors if you put JavaScript and try to compile it as Java.
Please take note that JavaScript is in no way in anyway similar at all in any what so way to Java.

I just realized that that spells out JEW.

[WALK2222]

Eclipse is a wonderful program. And it's .jar not .exe

[Klocko]

I just realized that that spells out JEW.

Which backwards spells out WEJ.
Then pronounced, Wejed
Now we're getting somewhere

Someone continue

You can compile java with a word editor and your command line
