Java without runtime?

[capsulecorpjx]

Is it possible to just write a Java program without using the Runtime behind it?

I.E. compile it straight to Machine Code like you would a C++ program?

After a Google search, this is the only compiler I found that can compile directly to machine code. I *think* your code will no longer be platform independant.

Can you explain a little more? I don't know what files you don't want to see and what it's showing up.

I don't know about this one but I tried other commercial tools and they produce a windows, Dos, Linux, and Solaris versions for your app

If it produces a version for each platform, then why would I be wrong? That's not a single version of code you can run across platforms... Maybe you should actually try the software instead of doing a Google search and posting what you find.

I didn't say you were wrong ... I still wonder what brought that to your mind

And I didn't google it I actually tried a couple of commercial products as I said before

I think these programs that compile java to machine code, just convert the java to c then to machine...

No. the JVM converts byte code to machine code on execution time, and so does those apps (most of the anyway)
