right, but that's the whole point of Java and what makes it platform independent. It _cannot_ run without a virtual machine. Windows comes with a built in JVM. As previously mentioned if you don't want your users to suffer potential hassle, do the leg work and make your java app an EXE: but then you've just lost the biggest benefit of Java because now only windows users can run your app.

Eclipse has a wizard that can create JAR files in seconds. JAR files are just ZIP files with a MANIFEST file(thats a text file) and META-INF directory stuck in to tell it what class to run, you can make them with winzip too. Look what [Google] gives you everything you want to know about JAR files!!!
