Hello everyone, first thanks mark for your tutorials.
I wanted to know if there is a way to make native executable (not executable jar) with eclipse,if yes how (good if there is a tutorial for it). This executable are made for different platform, like Linux, Mac OS, Windows...
hope i'll get a reply soon, thanks.

  sorry I just saw a post about it :S, and thanks. the problem with executable jar is that anyone can decompile it easily, so your source code are readable, also the user must have JRE installed to execute it, and of course he must know what a JRE first place!. which is not the case for native executable, the user will install it and execute it, and that's all :)
  I found GCJ (the GNU Compiler for Java) but it's a little complicated to use it :S, it's an open source that's why I'm interested. here the link http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
  thaks for all !! Karim
