launch4j 3.0.1

Cross-platform Java executable wrapper

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 provides better user experience through an application icon, a native pre-JRE splash screen, a custom process name, and a Java download page in case the appropriate JRE cannot be found.

Info

Running Launch4j on other Java enabled platforms is a matter of getting a binary version of MinGW binutils 2.15.90 (windres and ld only) for your system or compiling them. If you'll provide these, I'll be able to create a binary package available for download.
