There’s a quite minimalistic but fully working (on Win7, too) exe on corkami/wiki/PE101, every byte of it is explained in the nice graphic.

Launch4j works on both Windows and Linux/Mac. But if you’re running Linux/Mac, there is a way to embed your jar into a shell script that performs the autolaunch for you, so you have only one runnable file: exestub.sh: #!/bin/sh MYSELF=`which “$0” 2>/dev/null` [ $? -gt 0 -a -f “$0″ ] && MYSELF=”./$0″ JAVA_OPT=”” PROG_OPT=”” # … Read more

In ProcessExplorer find the name of your binary file and double click it to show properties. Click the Strings tab. Search down the list of string found in the binary … Read more
Using the win32 API it is possible to “eat” another application. Basically you get the top window for that application and set it’s parent to be the handle of the panel you want to place it in. If you don’t want the MDI style effect you also have to adjust the window style to make … Read more
You would use the GetFileVersionInfo API. See Using Version Information on the MSDN site. Sample: DWORD verHandle = 0; UINT size = 0; LPBYTE lpBuffer = NULL; DWORD verSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize( szVersionFile, &verHandle); if (verSize != NULL) { LPSTR verData = new char[verSize]; if (GetFileVersionInfo( szVersionFile, verHandle, verSize, verData)) { if (VerQueryValue(verData,”\\”,(VOID FAR* FAR*)&lpBuffer,&size)) { … Read more
Pass your arguments in constructor itself. Process process = new ProcessBuilder(“C:\\PathToExe\\MyExe.exe”,”param1″,”param2″).start();
