i just started java after fiddling with turbo c and c++. I just found out that java can't be turned to an executable file natively. It's possible with the use of wrappers though, but isn't really advisable. So, im making some simple apps with mysql as my database. If ever i'm done with this? What should i do next? do i still need to install an IDE such as eclipse or netbeans to run this project of mine? I mean not all users know that except those who actually study programming, most people only know double clicking an icon right? You guys get what I'm saying? IF not pleease just ask i can ellaborate or explain more. TY!
