I tested it, and it was quite easy to get to work: http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/scrap/2009-06-11+Launch4j+experiment This even includes an .exe file you could drop into your Taverna 2.1b1 installation to try for yourself. :-) I say we try to get this into 2.1b2. If we have time we can get the install wizard (like in 2.0) to also add a link to this .exe file to the Start menu.. but that's another program to play with.
