Run .Java as a Windows-service?

Hi Guru's,

Does anyone know how to 'convert' a .java-program to a Windows XP Service?

Someone wrote a Java application to copy records from an external database
to a MySQL database running on the local machine. This program is started
with a batchfile with the command "JAVA PROGRAM.JAVA". This batchfile runs
automatically at login (it's in the startup-folder). The problem is you
always have to log on to start the program. I'd rather would like to have it
running as a service.

As an additional problem; the application generates output wich is important
to see.


Thanks, Bas.
