there are ahead of time compilers for java! not free though.

  IIRC, gcj compiles to an executable.

    Gcj was deleted from GCC in October 2016[1]. So only free option left, AFAIK, is to use mono AOT[2]. [1]: http://tromey.com/blog/?p=911 http://tromey.com/blog/?p=911 [2]: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/languages/java/ http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/languages/java/

      Or a copy of GCC from September 2016. (That's not going to get you Java 9 support, I realize...)

        It is not going to get you full Java 5 support either. The project was dead before the OpenJDK even existed and it never got better.

    Avian can compile AOT to a single executable.
