[MLUG] gcj - java - executable

[Suman <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Ok; gcj works well fine for compiling and making java executables. Its easy to 
use and I like it. But as far gcj can only make java programs which uses 
standard java api, not even awt and swings.
It is not programmed to make java executable using external api provided for 
java, I mean such api as biojava, swarm, awt, etc..
I am trying to make some executables from my java programs such that the use 
can run it without installing j2sdk. I tried some funky software I found on 
google called install4j; it seems good, but its designed for bundled packages 
and I have only option for creating an rpm (or unix.tar.gz) for that, when 
installed create the files and executes fine. It bundles because it supplies 
a jar file along with that which is used for running application. Again, I 
didnt like it, its a process to install an rpm (or gz) and run. 
I want to make an simple executable which runs on linux, unix platforms from 
my java programs (it would be nice if .class file is converted to native 
machine format). Is there any program which will do this? Or can we somehow 
associate external jar with gcj itself to make it work?
