Hi Viral,
ur posts are really good … thanks a lot :-)

just wanted to add about JRE stuff .. jsmooth allows to point to a local JRE folder which can be shipped along with our product .jsmooth is another OSS wrapper for jar files files.
(No installation required from user end).BUt that would add about 60mb to our distribution . Not really a problem if we are planning to distribute over a physical medium – Mem. Stick/CD/DVD

Best setup packing options for a jar from my experience is
IzPack + jsmooth

Hello,
And is it possible to reverse again the .exe generated by laun4j into a .jar,
by exemple if i have converted a .jar into a .exe with launch4j and then i want to convert back this same .exe into .jar in order to find back my original .jar ?

@waddah, I understand it is not common that people install JRE on their system. But I am not aware of any way of running a JAR file without JRE!! This may not be good solution but you may want to make a prerequisite of installing a JRE before installing your Java software.

those r some vwey nice tools yet the problem persists in the fact that you need a JRE to start the exe files u created using these converters and its not always that easy for end users to install JRE.do u know of any program that converts jar into exe files that dont require a JRE environement to run at all?

I have tried most of the tools mentioned above. I found Inno Setup as the best tool for creating Setup exe files. That allows you to add icon for exe and also uninstallation support also there.
