Actually, For Linux, the bin file is a shell script, followed by a compressed file that contains all kinds of stuff, including another shell script...
This is how the installer controls for which platforms it will decompress and install. It is quite ingenious... I tried, off and on, for several weeks to break the code to "let it install" on Darwin (Mac OS X) -- no luck I have seen the same approach used where the shell script launches a Java program as a GUI for the rest of the install.
