On the same digest you answer me, there is a
discussion on how to make a Java program as fast as
Visual Basic! Come on! We deserve a native  compiler
to forget all this stuff! Why can't we have a native
compiler AND Java... the executable .jar file is OK,
but is certainly never going to beat a native app, and
I would like to have a native app without using C or
C++. To me is just less headaches, you get Java, and
native code, the best of both worlds!

So please if anyone on this list knows of any IDE or
tool that creates native code, .EXEs for Windows, and
if possible other OSes, please let us know.
