You can create a shell script to launch the browser with a link to your web application that is on your local machine. You haven't given much details, but in general it's pretty easy.

cat > launch.exe
#!/bin/bash
$BROWSER http://localhost

chmod +x launch.exe
./launch.exe

If this is to be piled and run on Windows installations only then here's your answer: https://msdn.microsoft./en-us/library/7435xtz6(v=vs.100).aspx

Java code is different from JavaScript. They might both be Object Oriented Programming (OOP), but JavaScript is specifically a scripting language. Its impossible to make a .exe file out of JavaScript.

You should try jsc.exe (under Windows only), NWJS or Electron.

The latest two are surely your best pick.

Edit: I would add NeutralinoJs to my previous suggestion. It's nice, simple and useful.
