WinRun4J

WinRun4j is a java launcher for windows. It is an alternative to javaw.exe and provides the following benefits:

• Uses an INI file for specifying classpath, main class, vm args, program args.

• Custom executable name that appears in task manager.

• Additional JVM args for more flexible memory use.

• Built-in icon replacer for custom icon.

• Pre-JVM splash screen with auto-hide.

• DDE implementation for file assocations.

• Windows NT Service wrapper.

• Windows EventLog API

• Console version

• JNI library for INI access, splash screen, logger, registry, shell.

• Support for 64-bit JVM.

• Supports embedding (inside the executable) the INI file. See Embedded Resources section below.

• Supports embedding a splash image.

• Supports embedding JAR files. These will be included in the classpath (without extraction). This is currently BETA quality.

• NEW: There is now an Eclipse Plugin for WinRun4J.
