How to create an .exe file from JAR that contains both GUI and Console tasks running Parallely?

I wrote a program which takes input from a client and does necessary parsing and sends to the console and also to the GUI app. Both of the processes run simultaneously in threads. Now I have to create a .exe file from JAR file. I tried using Launch4j and Jar2exe. But I am confused how to do and what to select. I have the options like:

1) console 2) GUI app 3) Service

Previously I wrote a client - server program, for which I used console but it doesn't contain any GUI part. Now I am really stuck with this. Can anyone help me in creating a .exe file from a JAR file that contains both GUI and also Console task.

Solution

  • You can use

    Excelsior JET 14.0 or greater

    to create .exe files from .jar file.

    It works pretty good. i am using it myself.
