java-programmer, Export Application Hello.

I am using Netbeans 3.5 IDE and have created several applications which is
fine and dandy. The only thing I cannot do is work out how to export these
apps to another PC i.e. to run them on a machine without having the IDE
installed. I believe this would be via a JAR file but cannot seem to get
these to work. Any help in this area would be great as I am going round in
circles. Also, how do I encrypt the code ?

Regards

Stephen Gray

As for encrypting the code, why would you,want to do this? Just don't ship
it :). If you want to make it more difficult to decompile your code, look
on the web for obfuscators (but nothing will work 100% though).

Try searching for "obfuscation".

Surely your code cannot be _that_ bad, can it?
