RE: Java And Windows Executable Question

Hi,
Confessional.
OK. I really feel stupid sometimes, but who cares. In all the years I've been 
programming, I have never understood why you need an interpreter and why you 
can just use an executable program, and so on. I know all kinds of other stuff 
like if you write Python programs, unless you use something like Iron Python 
that it's hard to give someone a program without letting them have your source 
code. I could be wrong about that one, though, because I remember something 
about .pyc files or some sort of intermediate files that you can give someone. 
I've never really cared much about how it works except when I think about the 
possibility of distributing software to someone and not wanting them to get 
source code. Not that I have any secret code lying around, but I sometimes 
think about maybe writing something to sell to someone. When I think about 
that, I start thinking things like "Don't do it in Perl or Python or Java, 
because they can get the source code." Stuff like that. That kind of thinking 
is all mixed up with my unwillingness to use C++ because I'd rather let the 
machine do the garbage collection and whatever else it does, and I want to just 
solve problems. I guess it comes from having my roots in Cobol. I don't really 
care about this stuff on a deep, technical, level. I'm just curious from a 
fifty-thousand foot level. For some reason, getting all cozy with the machine 
stresses me out and makes me want to run screaming into the street looking for 
chocolate.

You might want to take a look at a package called Java Service wrapper. It 
allows you to launch a java application as an executable or to even run it as a 
Windows service. I have used it in both modes. One of the things I like about 
the JSW is that you can configure it to trap the standard out and standard err 
streams and write them to a file.  You can even have JSW put a date/time stamp 
on each console record. This is very helpful when attempting to track down a 
problem which may have resulted from an unexpected runtime exception. Just 
knowing the date/time stamp of exactly when the error occured can help you 
better track down what was going on at the time.

Hi,
I am very sure that I have a misunderstanding about this, so please correct me. 
I was once under the impression that you couldn't make a Java program that was 
an .exe Windows executable, but Eclipse is a Windows executable. How does this 
work?

Thanks.

Jim
