About java compiling to exe, or JRE smaller distribution

sorry if it sounds stupid…



I am only an artist, but I’d like t know. Is it possible to code a game in java, and distribute later in form of an *.exe , without needing to force the user to install the JRE, or inmcluding it in the setup -becoming huge, then- or even worse, suppose they have inet connectipn they are conected during installation, and they’ll accept install JRE.



I know, it goes a bit against Java philosophy , but…the need would be to output Windows exe without messing the user.



or if jre needs to be include in the installation, at least to be a very minimalist small version of it.

There is no "small" version of the JRE, and you can't change the JRE package size, it's against Sun policies...

About compiling to full windows executable, you can do it using JET (see there website here) but it's not free...
