Such questions should be posted to the newsgroups!
From http://eclipse.org/mail/index.html:
Technical questions and discussions about using eclipse and eclipse-based
tools, and developing plug-in tools should be posted to the newsgroups.
Mailing lists at eclipse.org are intended for use by developers actually
working on or otherwise contributing to day-to-day development.
Now to your question:
To make an executable from a java application you would need to compile it
with a native compiler. (try google "java" "native compiler")
But I really do not see the point, because you can simply write a manifest
file and it will start the application contained in the jar file. (try google
with "java" "manifest" "jar")
All follow-ups on the newsgroup please...
Best regards,
Michael
