Windows Executeable

[tbehrends]

Hello,

it's a small issue, but I'd prefer an exe-file for my windows-installation. Otherwise I'll allways see the ugly black console-window

There are many good exe-generators for java. I'm using exe4j which is very good in finding virtual-machines and JAR-archives.

I'll also can build a wrapper for you if you want - just send me a splash-screen.

Greetings,
Thomas

Thanks a lot for your offer. Unfortunatelly we have no time resources to migrate to native exe-launcher in the version 3.0 which will be released very soon. In the version next to 3.0 we will do it.

As a workaround, to get rid of console window you can modify existing yjp.bat in the following way:

- replace 'java.exe' and 'java' with 'javaw'
- change

:launch
"%JAVA_EXE%" -Xmx256m -jar ..\lib\yjp.jar

to

:launch
start %JAVA_EXE% -Xmx256m -jar ..\lib\yjp.jar
exit

Please note that this approach works only if %JAVA_EXE% is expanded to a string with no spaces.

OK, we've changed our minds and the upcoming build will have a native Windows executable instead of .bat.

Enjoy
