[jira] Created: (MPNSIS-5) Bundle with JVM for computers without Java

Message:

  A new issue has been created in JIRA.

  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPNSIS-5

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MPNSIS-5
    Summary: Bundle with JVM for computers without Java
       Type: New Feature

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven-nsis-plugin

   Assignee: dion gillard
   Reporter: Geoffrey

    Created: Sun, 4 Jul 2004 4:11 PM
    Updated: Sun, 4 Jul 2004 4:11 PM

Description:
Many end users don't have Java, or don't have the correct version of Java to run the project.
For J2SE desktop applications, bundling a JVM in the installer's exe would be really helpfull.

It's possible that such an open source script has already been written for NSIS.

Extra features that could be included for this task (but don't need to be in the first release):
- a nsis property defining the version of the JVM bundled, defaulting to the java version needed by the pom.
- public (for all programs on the desktop) or private (just for the project) JVM install
- optionally install the JVM
- picking the JVM to use when not installing the bundled one
- different goals for generating an exe with or without JVM


Reference: InstallAnywhere provides a commercial installer alternative. It has a free version that does most of the JVM functionality, but has many limitations such as no build from command line, support for i18n, etc

JText uses IzPack I think.
IzPack is a java installer written in Java, so the installer itself is platform independ.
There is also a native component that installs a JRE and then calls the installer.

IzPack is GPL, but can be used for commerical projects.
See http://www.izforge.com/izpack/.

Jajuk uses IzPack with Maven: http://jajuk.sourceforge.net/
