Converting an .exe file to java?

[Root]

Exe files aren't working well for me and I want to convert them to java. Is there a way to do that because I don't want to have to start over on my games.

Do you still have your source? (.mfa)

Yes you need your source MFA file to convert it over to Java.
You may or may not need to do a lot of work depending on what objects you used in your original game.

Yes I have my source. Is there a special link that will convert it or do I have to redo everything?

1) Open up your .mfa
2) In the "properties" toolbar, click on the "settings" tab
3) Find "build type" and change it from "Stand-alone Application" to either "Stand-alone Java Internet App" or "Stand-alone Java Web Start"
4) Now try to build your game.

//edit//
As Jeff mentioned, many extensions will not build to java. So, if your game won't build or whatever, you may need to go in and change things so that these extensions are not used.

I haven't used it extensively; I think the only problem I encountered was that Java doesn't support transparency... but it wasn't a huge issue.
