I blogged this a long time ago, and I don’t know if it still valid or not, but the code is something like… private void testfile(string file) { if(isAssemblyDebugBuild(file)) { MessageBox.Show(String.Format(“{0} seems to be a debug build”,file)); } else { MessageBox.Show(String.Format(“{0} seems to be a release build”,file)); } } private bool isAssemblyDebugBuild(string filename) { return … Read more
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. You can type it all by hand in a hex editor, but the paddings may make that a little tedious. As for the history, yes someone at Microsoft invented the exe format … Read more
The link you have in your question provides most of what you need. However, there are a few things that need to be done in addition to that. Any class files that Jetty needs to start up will need to be located at the root of the war file when it’s packaged. We can leverage … Read more
Turns out that the Wikipedia entry on “self-modifying code” has a great list: Semi-automatic optimization of a state dependent loop. Runtime code generation, or specialization of an algorithm in runtime or loadtime (which is popular, for example, in the domain of real-time graphics) such as a general sort utility preparing code to perform the key … Read more
Had this issue after a reinstall today. Make sure the Application Experience service is started and not set to disabled. If its set to manual, I believe VS will start it.
No need for external plugins. In the Export JAR dialog, make sure you select all the necessary resources you want to export. By default, there should be no problem exporting other resource files as well (pictures, configuration files, etc…), see screenshot below.
What you want is the –embed flag for the Cython compiler. There isn’t a ton of documentation on it, but this is what I was able to find. It does link to a simple working example. To compile the Cython source code to a C file that can then be compiled to an executable you … Read more
The solution that fully meets my needs would be SHC – a free tool, or CCsh a commercial tool. Both compile shell scripts to C, which then can be compiled using a C compiler.

The unix.linux file command is great for this. It can generally detect the target architecture and operating system for a given binary (and has been maintained on and off since 1973. wow!) Of course, if you’re not running under unix/linux – you’re a bit stuck. I’m currently trying to find a java based port that … Read more
You can use the jar tool bundled with the SDK and create an executable version of the program. This is how it’s done. I’m posting the results from my command prompt because it’s easier, but the same should apply when using JCreator. First create your program: $cat HelloWorldSwing.java package start; import javax.swing.*; public class HelloWorldSwing … Read more
