<p>kinda misleading title but I don’t konw how to describe this. I am trying to make a software program using Jcreator. if upload it to another computer, that computer would need to have Jcreator installed in it. I don’t want that. Does anyone know how to create a program from java that does not require Jcreator o nthe computer</p>
<p>PS that was very wordy and weird. sorry!</p>
<p>yes… find another java compiler.</p>
<p>but does that computer still needd to have that compilar download on it?</p>
<p>You don’t need JCreator if you have MS-Dos, although this method is not suggested, cuz it takes so darn long and if you have errors in code, you’re screwed unless you’re good at debugging.</p>
<p>But what I used to do before downloading JCreator was use Notepad as my text editor thing and using MS-Dos by running command, and typing something like javac c:\filename\file… to compile and java “File.java” to run it and it took like 1 minute for each unless code was really long.
Note that I haven’t done it for half a year so I don’t remember the exact code to run it, but go to java.sun.microsystems.com <– some site similar, haven’t been in a while
and look for the tutorial code and it shows you EVERYTHING step by step, its really helpful.</p>
<p>It’s a pain, I’d suggest installing Jcreator or some other compiler.
With notepad, you have to set class path and stuff in this AutoExec.Bat file and it gets really confusing and if your computer sucks, eh you’re screwed and have to do it over and over cuz mine would always get deleted.</p>
<p>Have fun…</p>
<p>I must not have explained well</p>
<p>I have JCreator on my compute rand Iam currently writing programs for it. What I wnat to do is “sell” one of my programs. but when I do this, I don’t want the “buyer” to have to install JCreator .</p>
<p>yes… find another forum.</p>
<p>Well then, you could teach that person how to run the program with notepad and ms-dos as my earlier post.
It’s a lot harder than installing Jcreator though.</p>
<p>idang I aint explaining this at well at all.</p>
<p>I want to basically want to create a software program that I could sell to a user. I don’t want the buyer to have to install JCreator to use my program</p>
<p>PS Not entirely true but the premise is the same</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> I guess I’m not getting this.</p>
<p>Let me try again: You want to make a program that is made using Java. And you want to sell the program.
You don’t want the other person buying the program to have to install JCreator to run the program.</p>
<p>The other person will need a compiler to use the program though.
So, they can use Ms-Dos, which is a standard on most computers. (they don’t need Jcreator for this)</p>
<p>Or they will need to have something to run java applets and you’ll have to make the program an applet.
Upload to web and charge a fee for using it??</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I’m not an expert at selling programs.</p>

<p>Hey. I know mike pham. He goes to my school. He just learn java for 3 months now, so don’t listen to him. I have been doing it for 4 years, and the solution to your problem is to compile to jar files. Don’t go to gamedev.net, because as an active member there, i know that they are big on C++ and will only confuse you more. Google .jar files.</p>
