Advanced Installer for Java will enable you to easily build your own personalized installers for Java. Install, update and configure your products safely, securely and reliably.
Advanced Installer simplifies the process of building installer packages by providing a very easy to use, high level interface to the underlying technology.
With this simple, intuitive interface, building an Installer package will take just a few minutes. Start the program, add a few files, change the name, hit the Build button and you are done. No scripts to learn, no seminars to attend.
Here are some key features of "Advanced Installer for Java":
100% native:
· Create packages containing only native code and technologies. Ensure the smallest footprint, no overhead and the tightest platform integration for your installers.
Windows Installer:
· Standard installation technology on MS Windows. Enjoy total OS integration and powerful features like patches, auto-repair, Group Policy deployment and more.
Native Launcher:
· Your own process name, file name, icon and version. Instant-on splash screen. JRE/JDK detection and selection, user friendly error handling. Never explain “Java” again.
Mac OS X:
· From the same familiar IDE, create standard, native application bundles for your Java products to be installed on Mac OS X computers. No Mac necessary.
JRE/JDK prerequisite:
· Bundle a JRE with your product or check if the right JVM is present on the target machine and, if necessary, download and install it.
Import Eclipse:
· Point Advanced Installer's Wizard to your Eclipse project and it will instantaneously create and configure your installer and necessary Java launchers.
Compression:
· Dramatically reduce the size of your install packages using the powerful LZMA algorithm and optional Pack200 packing for your JAR files.
JVM parameters:
· Easy to use GUI to edit runtime options, initial and maximum memory heap and stack sizes, system properties, VM command line and other parameters.
64-bit:
· Build 64-bit installers with native 64-bit Java launchers able to load your application into discovered (or bundled) 64-bit JREs.
