title: .Jar to .EXE (Encrypted file)
body: <p>I have developed a simple java project. Now the requirement is to convert the jar file to EXE. So that nobody can extract the class files and decompile them. I have used :</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Launch4J (<a href="http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/</a>).</li>
  <li>JSmooth  (<a href="http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/</a>).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But both of these are just wrapping the jar file. And the EXE files generated can be opened in winrar. Thus exposing my class files.</p>
  
  <p>I came across one more tool i.e</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Jar2Exe </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But this is a proprietary software, what i need is a free software which can convert JAR TO EXE, thus hiding my class files inside JAR.</p>
  
  <p>Proprietary software is acceptable but only as a last option. So please help me with this case. </p>
