Do you mean you are trying to run a Java program (presumably on Windows,
since you talk about a .exe file) without using the Java runtime? In other
words, are you trying to compile a Java program into an executable file all
by itself?

I'm not clear what you mean by "run a program out side of the compiler". Do
you mean run the program on it's own, through Java, run it without Java, or
just be able to run it without Eclipse?

There are programs to do that, but I don't think Eclipse has anywhere near
that ability (but I could be wrong, I'm new to the Eclipse scene).

Scott,

The standard ways to run a java program outside an IDE depend on

1) Is is a console app? If so, enter a command like this at the command
line:

java ClassName

(There should be a compiled class called ClassName.class which results
from compiling ClassName.java)

2) Is it a GUI app? If so, you can also do the above, but more common is
to make a jar file that can be launched just like an exe, but actually
runs in the JVM.

Hope this helps,
Michael
