Compile Java to Windows Native Code (.exe) [message #222277]

I would like to compile my SWT Java applications into Windows native
executables (.exe) rather than Java .class files. After searching the web,
it seems that the only free tool that can do such a thing is GCJ. The
questions are:

- Can I run GCJ on a Linux box as a cross-compiler to produce Windows
..exe's? How can I transform my actual GCJ installation into a
cross-compiler?

- Can I run GCJ on a Windows PC using MinGW, CygWin, or whatever?

- Do you know of any examples on how to compile a SWT Java application into
native code using GCJ?

Thanks in advance

Here are the steps to build a cross compiler that would run on Linux and
produces Windows executable.

Yes, see http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm

The last link comes with a version of SWT and provides examples.
