I could build a Jar file without a bundled JRE, but felt that Java Web Start solution was enough and better at this time (a Jar file may be run with a double click, but you don't get file extension associations and program icon). Why would you need such a Jar file ?

> Why not make a .rpm for Linux?
There's no special reason. It's just I thought the .tgz file is easy to unzip *and* to uninstall (in case of ;-). Before changing, I would like to be sure that Linux people are more used to install .rpm files... BTW, would you have a link to a nice and short .rpm builder tutorial ?

I know this is for SuSE but there should be a buildrpm package for your system. Anyway, it refers to this tutorial from Novell: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial
