Exe Compiler

[bfdeleen]

Evaluating JBuilder and Java, I am trying to determine if software made with
JBuilder be compiled to a windows exe, with JBuilder or known third party
software?

Are you asking for a ex startup file or a true as in binary compiled exe?

If the former, see Lori's response.

If the latter try Excelsior Jet or JavaNativeCompiler.

My question is mainly concerned with "code protection". Whereas the issue is
different for each software product, for my product I am concerned about
code protection, but not really concerned with copy protection. After that I
am interested in having ease of deployment.

An obfuscater probably will be a better solution.

As per Doychin, what you want then is an obfuscater. These do not build
exes, they scramble the code, making it unintelligible.

ProGuard is an open source one that gets pretty good reviews. Do a
Google search on Java obfuscaters.

Well that is completely different. There are a variety of options, but
in general you are faced with 1 primary choice... do you want to spend
money or not?

Money = http://www.zelix.com/klassmaster/index.html
Not = http://proguard.sourceforge.net/

For the highest level of code protection, run your jars through an
obfuscator that mangles names and encrypts strings, but leaves the
code intact, then compile them with Excelsior JET or GCJ.
