    Version 0.9.5 of the popular java exe wrapper has been released!

    Home site: http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/

    JSmooth is a free Java Executable Wrapper (in other words, it "converts"
    Java to exe), released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

    It builds standard Windows executable binaries (.exe) that launch java
    applications. Such binaries contain all the information needed to launch
    your java application, i.e. the classpath, the java properties, the jvm
    version required, and so on. If Java is not installed, it helps the
    users by displaying them a notice before launching automatically a
    browser to a web site where they can download a JVM.

    Changelog:

    0.9.5
    - ! Made the jar embedding optional. Now, one can choose to
    include or not a jar file in the exe. If the jar is not included,
    the main class must be in the classpath (obviously).
    - ! Added home-made ICO loader code, so that JIMI is not required
    anymore (thus removing a dependency to a closed-source Sun
    package).
    - Fixed bugs 811957 and 811959 that prevented the wrappers to
    launch a bundled jvm
    - Fixed bug 846974: Build exe over to partitions
    - Added color reduction for icons using true-color images.
    - Fixed transparency issue with icon resource set up in the
    executable.
    - Set the system look-and-feel as default
    - Fixed a few typos in the skeleton descriptors
    - Added version in the title bar of the application window
    - Improved the documentation (at least, tried to)
    - Fixed the README file
