Launch4j Executable Wrapper Description

Launch4j is a cross-platform tool for wrapping Java applications distributed as jars in lightweight Windows native executables. Launch4j is a cross-platform tool for wrapping Java applications distributed as jars in lightweight Windows native executables. The executable can be configured to search for a certain JRE version or use a bundled one, and it's possible to set runtime options, like the initial/max heap size. The wrapper also offers better user experience through an application icon, a native pre-JRE splash screen, a custom process name, and a Java download (Download photos from iPod to PC) page in case the appropriate JRE cannot be found. Main features of Launch4j Executable Wrapper:Launch4j wraps jars in Windows native executables and allows to run them like a regular Windows program. It's possible to wrap applications on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD Ripper) and Solaris! Also creates launchers for jars and class files without wrapping. Supports executable jars and dynamic classpath resolution using environment variables and wildcards. Doesn't extract the jar from the executable. Custom application icon with multiple resolutions and color depths. Native pre-JRE splash screen in BMP format shown until the Java application starts.

Allows to set the initial/max heap size. JVM options: set system properties, tweak the garbage collection... Runtime JVM options from an .ini file (Instant File Recovery Software). Runtime command line switches to change the compiled options. Access to environment variables and executable file path through system properties. Set environment variables. Option to change current directory to the executable location. The JRE's bin directory is appended to the Path environment variable. Custom version information shown by Windows Explorer. GUI and command line interface. Build integration through an Ant task. Lightweight: 21 KB! It's free and may be used for commercial purposes. Includes a sample application and Ant script that automates the build process from Java sources to native executable. The wrapped program works on all Windows platforms (98/Me/NT/2K/Xp), Launch4j works on NT/2K/Xp, Linux (developed and tested on SUSE 9.3, CentOS 4.1), Mac OS X (build on 10.4) and Sparc Solaris 8-10.
