Convert processing sketch into executable

Question

I am using processing, and cannot figure out how to turn my processing sketch into an .exe file. So far nothing has worked.

I have a lot of images in different folders within my processing sketch, and I cannot seem to figure out the steps I need to take to end up with an executable and a folder which it is in (the type you might download from the internet)

Solution

You can do this two ways:

From your Processing editor, by clicking the "Export button", then you have the options of creating an "Embed Java" or a "Full Screen (Present mode)". Bought of this options create a folder containing the .exe file.

this creates a new folder inside your sketch folder.

here you can find the executable file.

The other way would be by having your project mix with java in some other IDE like Eclipse or Intelij. Follow this tutorial on how to do that http://www.learningprocessing.com/tutorials/processing-in-eclipse/ then you can export your work like any java aplication, if you decide to work with eclipse here it's how to do so http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jst.j2ee.doc.user%2Ftopics%2Ftjexpapp.html

Hope this could be helpful. Regards Jose
