OK, I had a look at this. Turns out we already generate a JAR containing 
the installer.

I have updated the ant build.xml so that:
- ant lsc::buildGenerateWizard builds this JAR in the lib/ directory
- ant lsc::dist includes this in the tarballs it generates
- ant lsc::generateWizard just launches the JAR from the lib/ directory 
(assuming it exists)

So, now if this works, we don't need to get users to install 
AntInstaller anymore! :)

Can somebody else than me please test by:
- downloading 
http://tools.lsc-project.org/versions/download/1?attachment_id=3
- untarring it
- running ant lsc::generateWizard and generating something

Thanks in advance.

Jonathan
