Ah ok, I guess I lost track of the original problem.
So exe-file must be built using Java 6 (the Java NSIS script points
to). Jar
should be built with 1.5, still.
I am not a big expert on NSIS, but from looking at the script (that I
grabbed off of the NSIS Wiki examples), it uses JAVA_HOME or "current
JVM":
ReadRegStr $R1 HKLM "SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment"
"CurrentVersion"
ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\$R1"
"JavaHome"
StrCpy $R0 "$R0\bin\javaw.exe"
EXE itself is a thin wrapper that starts CayenneModeler.jar, so I
guess the problem is multiple VM's installed on the same machine, with
the script picking the wrong one??

The problem is, that Java5 (at least before Update 9) doesn't support
Vista's new UI theme, called 'Aero'. So, when java app with Swing
starts,
screen blinks and a message pops up, telling Aero has been disabled.

I've read that Aero is supported in 1.5.0 update 9, not only 1.6. So
I could
test modeler built with that JDK. Let me create a JIRA issue

Before we fork the distro, I'd like to understand what exactly
doesn't
work, and is there a confirmed fix. Like I wouldn't expect a
problem running
bytecode compiled with Java 5 on the Java 6 JRE for instance.
BTW, here is the NSIS descriptor that is used to assemble the .exe:
https://svn.objectstyle.org/repos/woproject/trunk/woproject/woproject-ant-tasks/src/resources/japplication/windows/app.nsi
But from what you are saying the problem is with the bytecode, not
the exe?

Maybe create another POM for Vista?

I have Vista and I've seen this problem even if I start modeler
from
Eclipse. I think this is JDK version problem - installed java in
your
system
is 1.6, which supports Aero, that's why 'java -jar'.
I don't know how Windows' exe is built in Cayenne, but I suppose we
should
somehow build it with Java 6 not Java 5.

I've started to get into the habit of always specifying the
version for
not only deps, but plugins in maven.
It's the only way to have a long-term stable build with maven.

I notice that maven-japplication-plugin has been updated a few
times in
the last few months and our maven target doesn't specify a
release
version
number. Has the problem started just recently? Should we add a
version
number to the pom?
