I want to distribute a Java desktop application for Windows.
Which is the best method?

Convert a .jar fiel to an EXE file and bundle it with NSIS.

Or is there any another method?

I want it for a Windows application with an easy interface to install.

The application is 3 MB, but if I bundle JRE with it its size increases. Is there any alternative, like adding some DLL file, etc.?

    I would recommend JSmooth as a really good open source program to create an exe from a jar. It also has the functionality to check for a JRE when executed which is important when distributing your application.
