I been looking into ways of making a Swing application act like a
conventional program under windows. I'd like the user to launch the
thing by double clicking an icon on the desktop, see it on his start
window, etc. I'd also like it to run without opening up a console
window when it does. In other words, the user should neither care no
know that he is running a Java application rather than anything else.
As a bonus, I'd also like to be able to do the same thing under Linux
and Mac's
I think you want a Java installer -- that is, something to install Java on a variety of platforms. I don't know if Java WebStart (sp? look for "JWS") will work this way -- I think it will. However you can also compare what an installer will do for you too. There are a few Java installers out there.
The double click thing, on Windows just make a shortcut. Start window and such, your installer needs to copy the shortcut to the right folder. Other platforms besides Windows I'm not sure about.
