I have a new plugin which I am willing to submit to the sandbox if dev@ folks think it might be beneficial.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-126 Extract from introduction.apt: This plugin provides the features of {{{http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/exe4j/overview.html}Exe4J}} within the maven 2 environment. * What is Exe4J "Exe4j is a Java exe maker that helps you integrate your Java applications into the Windows operating environment, whether they are service, GUI or command line applications. If you want your own process name instead of java.exe in the task manager and a user friendly task-bar grouping in Windows XP, exe4j does the job. Exe4j helps you with starting your Java applications in a safe way, displaying native splash screens, detecting or distributing suitable JREs and JDKs, startup error handling and much more." * How to Use Exe4J plugin Using the plugin is very easy, simply define the plugin's {{{howto.html}configuration}} in your project POM and then execute the plugin thus: ------------------- mvn exe4j:exe4j ------------------- Alternatively if you already have an externally defined exe4j config file or for some reason do not wish to define all of your exe4j settings in your POM you may configure the plugin to use an existing external config file and simply run: ------------------- mvn exe4j:execute ------------------- Please note that the plugin does not come bundled with the Exe4J compiler so you will need to download and install it from the vendors {{{http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/exe4j/overview.html}website}} before running the Exe4J plugin. Currently the plugin has only been tested with Ex4J version 3.1.
