Hi - I want to design a very simple app and I want to natively compile it
because the purpose of the app is to run as a script to backup some files.
I want it to run as close to "instantaneous" as possible, so the overhead of
the JVM load is something I'd prefer to do without. (This is on a windows
machine)

Before I "blow" my trial on a simple app, I want to know if the EXE file
that I make is going to be limited, or tied to my trial dates, or anything
like that.

I don't mind if it is tagged as not legal for commercial distribution.

If it's a "very simple" app, and you want to run as close to
"instantaneous as possible, so the overhead of the JVM load is something
[you]'d rather do without", why not write it in a language other than Java?

I think JET still links to the libraries, which means class-loading type
stuff might still occur. Excelsior JET produced EXEs still need the JET
Runtime to run, for example.
