install4j project is a powerful multi-platform Java installer builder that generates native installers and application launchers for Java applications. install4j excels in its ease of use, its tight integration into the target platforms and its flexible JRE management and deployment options.

Here are some key features of "install4j":

freely define your distribution tree

· In each directory of the distribution tree you can include the contents of entire directories or single files from arbitrary directories on your disk. The definition view and the results view give you full control over the files that will be distributed by your installers.

handle platform-specific differences

· install4j offers convenient include/exclude mechanisms that let you tailor your distributions in a platform specific manner.

define file rights for Unix, Linux and Mac OS X

· For each element of the distribution tree, you can define custom access rights for installation on Unix-like platforms.

define a fine-grained uninstallation policy

· For each element of the distribution tree, you can determine whether you want the uninstaller to remove it or not.

define the overwrite policy

· For each element of the distribution tree, you can set a different overwrite police that determines what install4j will do when it has to overwrite files during an installation.

define installation components

· You can define groups of files and directories that constitute separate installation components. You can offer the user to select only certain components for installation.
