The only problem is that there's no such solution for java web applications. A webapplication would be distributed as a WAR file, but the problem is: #1 there's no generic lightweigh web based installer. #2 there's no obfuscator that can work in a webapplication and be aware of JSPs (java server pages) or other wide used web tehnologies. #3 and finally there's no tutorial like your's that summaries everything in one page, so that "it just works" :). Thank you, Demetrios. Even if nothing new, this is a very nice “compilation”, thank you.

I have been looking for it for long. I have made some simple programs to be distributed along with a book I am writing. Purchasing commercial utility programs is at this point for me expensive. This can solve my problem. Hope is not too complicated because of the use of the 4 tools and libraries mentioned above. I am also sure that many other programmers are in the same boat as me. I will try, and will be in contact with you in the future. At any rate, I do thank you very much. Paco De la Puerta Sergey,

Thank you so much. I had some difficulty connecting all these 4 tools in producing an installer for my project. But I managed to get it right after 3,4 days of effort. Hi..

I've been tasked to come up with the deployment/install strategy for a new product here at work and came up with the same idea... sort of... I'm glad to see that this idea has worked for someone else. Btw, I saw that NSIS has a few examples on how to create a native launcher via NSIS so you could eliminate the launch4J step.

Thank you. your blog has helped me to an extent, but still I am facing some difficulties. I am glad if u can help me in this issue. I have to create a installation file which copies files to a specified folder and then inserts an icon into existing software application and clicking that icon should call the main class of that .jar file.

A bit pity, what have not explanations how to integrate this solutions in netbeans. But I see that you use eclipse IDE. Sergey, you do great job, many thanks.

For me,it may take another two or more readings to understand and imply it completely,none the less,your step by step explanation is awesome. As of now,my Java application development is simple so I haven't used any IDE environment for developing Java applications.I may use IDE environment soon,most likely "Netbeans". If possible,throwing lights on integrating these in "Netbeans" environment will be much appreciated. Well, I also thank Grigory for mentioning about IDE platform in his comments in this post.
