Hi,
I use 2 installers:
* IzPack to generate a generic JAR installer
* launch4j to wrap the generic JAR installer into an EXE for windows
platforms
I got the IzPack maven plugin from http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/
MOJO-277 which I installed in my custom remo repo. For launch4j I
simply used its Ant task that I called using the AntRun plugin.
To see how it's done check the XWiki sources here:
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-products/xwiki-enterprise/
trunk/installers/
My next step is to have a look at the daemon plugin from Apache since
this plugin seem to support various installers and in additions
allows starting your app as a daemon.
Some pointers:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/felix/sandbox/akarasulu/
mavenized/installers/pom.xml?revision=383421&view=markup&pathrev=383421
If someone gets this to work fine it would be nice to report it here.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a question for the people that use maven to create an
application (as
opposed to a library). How do you provide an easy start point for your
application?
Do you use webstart?
Do you use the assembly plugin and add .bat and .sh files to it?
Do you create an installer (with a maven plugin)?
Something else you use?
regards,
Wim
