I have been used to programming in c and c++ however a portion of my job would be much simpler if i wrote it in java, i was wondering if there was a way to compile java programs as stand alone executable binaries or if the java platform has to be installed on the computer the program is running on.

There is a portable version of Java at PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
