If I have a JAR executable file, but I don't have java.exe, javaw.exe,
or the JRE on my machine.
How can I run it?

Is it possible to have the JRE inside of the JAR executable file adn
still ahve it run ok?
(even if I don't have java.exe nor javaw.exe)

Any help would be appreciated.

You can't without the JRE (which includes java and javaw).

No.

Again no. You are hoping for a miracle.

Install a JRE.

You can use the gcj (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/) to create an executable
from the jar.
But, its not going to support Swing or AWT very well. It does work very
well with SWT.
