Hey all, Regarding the dependencies: I tried to simply the dependency-issues by (temporarily) adding all required JARs (except java-gnome) to the 'lib' folder. That makes it easier for the Windows version and for development.
@Thierry: No there is no functional version on Windows yet. I have used Inno Setup before. It's a great Tool for creating setup-files. I think we should start thinking about packaging. On Linux (*.deb, *.rpm), and on Windows a setup.exe. Do you (or anybody else) have experience with either one of them?
