Launch4J is a powerful and reliable solution to convert your Java JAR files into Windows-native EXE executables.
I also like Launch4J because it supports GUI and console apps, as well as Windows application manifests. Moreover, it can be used to create launchers for JARs and class files without wrapping. Build integration through an Ant task and a Maven Plugin is also available.
Though amazingly feature-rich, Launch4J is not complicated or difficult to use. Its interface is neatly organized into tabs and easy to use by anyone.
To sum it all up, Launch4J is a great tool for anyone Java app developer that needs a quick way to wrap JARs into executables.
