How exactly should we package Freenet 0.7?

I2P uses launch4j to create executable jars for Windows. On Windows, you
just run them; on Linux, java -jar installer.exe.

But that still leaves us with the question of the rest of the install
process. I would like to have as little as possible in native code. 0.7
will have a configuration servlet so that you can do the configuration
on the fly; minimally, we could have the jar install a node with the
default settings and wait for the user to connect via a browser (or even
open one), at which point we ask him/her about disk space and bandwidth
usage. But it might be better to have a nice GUI installer, since this
is what people expect.

For example:
http://antigen.sourceforge.net/index.html (poor web site; examples
missing)
http://www.izforge.com/izpack/
