Hello,
Forgive my ignorance in posting a general question that must appear
in a document that I haven't read but tried hard to find...
Do any of the IDEs currently adopting Java, or any tool at all, allow
the creation of stand-alone binaries for specific platforms? I've seen
assorted announcements of people developing Real Apps in Java, and
Sun's release of the Java chips (!) obviously is intended to diversify
Java beyond small applets embedded in Web pages.
If I (For whatever reason) wanted to write a cross-platform image
viewer program, for example, in Java, what form would the binary take?
Is there any way of *not* running it under a browser like HotJava or
Netscape, and without requiring users to grab the whole JDK to get the
AppletRunner?
Ideally, I guess, all Java-enabled platforms would have shared
libraries for running Java applets on their own or in a Web page,
which would also reduce browser bloat...
Again, I apologize if this is so trivial as to be annoying.
Mark
