title: How to make Java program installable?
body: <p>How can I make a java program installable?</p>
  
  <p>I have an application saved in my Eclipse workspace.</p>
  
  <p>I can export it as a <code>.jar</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>This is for a "real-world" application.</p>
  
  <p>How can I export to be a ".exe" file or ".dmg" so that it can be installed on another machine?</p>
  
  <p>Since Java is platform-independent I think it is a matter of exporting for a specific operating system.</p>
  
  <p>I've googled a lot and read so many different stories, so I would prefer an answer from an experienced person.</p>
