There are people that find the instantiation and startup of Java to take too long so they serialize the whole instantiated GUI and then write that to a binairy blob to the jar file. The client then starts the GUi by deserialising that file and showing it. I think its butt-ugly and feel it does not need to be supported, but there are people out there (mostly companies) that do it. So, now you know :) -- Thomas Zander
