BTW, Jar2Exe has started to support the conversion of JAR to executable file on Linux since version 2.0.
JAR2EXE ALTERNATIVE SOFTWARE
Jar2Exe can convert multiple JAR files into a single executable binary for Windows and Linux platforms, thus making it more convenient to use software developed with Java in many ways: easier to run, safer to redistribute by encryption, more powerful by function enhancement, and avoids the hassle of starting with a batch file. It works by starting the Java virtual machine using the JNI ( Java Native Interface) and providing other advanced functionalities on this basis. It is able to wrap, run, protect and enhance your Java program into an executable binary file for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Jar2Exe is a very simple and practical JAR file format conversion tool developed by Sswater Shi (RegExLab) from China.
JAR2EXE ALTERNATIVE CODE
And the most terrible thing is anyone who unzips your JAR file can instantly take in all the source code of your program in a glance.

Software developed with other languages is mostly the EXE format by default, whereas for Java: the less one has to run under console, the better one can only run in the form of JAR file, even with no program icon to choose from. Java programmers must feel that making Windows desktop applications in Java is worse a lot than using almost any other programming languages.
