Pardon my intrusion, I suspect that you are not the right people to ask, but I'm hoping that you might know whom I _should_ be asking.
In an Excelsior article by Dmitry Leskov on converting Java code to a Windows .exe file, (or maybe on a page I reached from that page), I read that while the basic Java classes _can_ be packaged as a .exe, Java does not allow its awt or Swing classes to be so packaged (I hope I've got this right). I have a stand-alone, non-Web-based app. that I'd like to distribute as a .exe with some database files, to a layman audience, and I'd like to avoid issues of JRE distribution and compatibility, etc. So I'm hoping someone, somewhere, has written a replacement framework for Java's GUI classes. Can you by any chance point me in such a direction? Thank you very much, Jerome Brown
