Does anyone have any ideas as to how you can get java applications to work on computers that do not have the plugin installed? The computers I want to introduce my programs to have a completely gutted java folder that comes as the default option with windows xp. They work if I take javaw.exe with me, but is there an easier option, as I cannot install the java runtime environment?

I'm fairly certain that there's no way to run a Java application without the JRE installed on the system. However, if they have a web browser with a Java plugin they will be able to run it if you can convert your application to an applet...but that's not always an easy process.

Isn't that kind of like asking, how do I get my web page to display on a computer without a web browser?

I would have to agree with both of these guys...

However, there might be a way to compile the Java into an .exe?

Thanks for that-the download of which you speak is called java runner. Apparently it is good for people who are new to java, as it allows java applications to be run as if they were .exe on your computer, however, you need to install java runner. If you were to install java runner, you may as well install the java runtime environment. Thanks for the input anyway.
