Run a Java application on a Mac

i am currently developing an application on my Windows laptop however I also need it to run on a Mac. Is there a way to either convert my project to .dmg or .app or create a mac build striaght from Windows Eclipse?

I would very much rather not have to install Eclipse on the Mac machine just for this as it is a one time thing. Any Suggestions?

Any simple way of creating a dmg file will probably require a Mac, however you don't need to do that; after all, you don't create an exe when you run a Java program on Windows either. Instead export it as a jar file and it should work on both systems (provided a Java Runtime Environment is installed and is set to run jar filed).

If you insist on creating a dmg, check this question which discusses creating them on Windows.

run on any Java virtual machine. It does not matter if you run it on a mac or pc, that's the whole idea with java

In my experiences you need a Mac to create anything for the Mac/iOS platform. So I guess you need a mac to create a dmg file.

Here is a post that says how this can be accomplished.

Of course you can just run the jar from the command line.
