Exe4j Wizard - Step 3: Configure Application Info


In this step of the exe4j wizard, you enter the name and the most important directories of your application.

  Enter the name of your application in the General section of this step. This name will be used in the error messages of the executable.
  Depending on the project type, the following information is required:
  • Regular Mode

    Enter the distribution source directory in the Directories section of this step. The distribution source directory is the topmost directory under which all other directories of your application reside. Many directories and file paths that are referenced by the executable need to be known as relative rather than absolute paths. If you select such directories and files in later steps by means of a file chooser, the paths will be converted to paths relative to the distribution source directory.

    Enter the executable directory in the Directories section of this step. The executable directory is the directory below the distribution source directory where the executable is to be placed. You can leave the output directory empty (or enter a ".") to make it equal to the distribution source directory. If you choose a directory with the file chooser (by clicking the ... button), the directory will be converted into a path relative to the distribution source directory.

  • Jar-in-Exe Mode

    Enter the output directory to determine where exe4j should place the generated application.
