JExpress
JExpress is a cross platform Java installer builder. JExpress generates native installers on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It installs the exact version of the JVM you want and also configures your customers' machines to launch your Java application from a native executable on Windows and Mac OS X. You customize your installer, updater, and uninstaller using Java. Installers can be designed with multiple install types or components. An installer can be created quickly with a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface.
