Q: 

How to create my installer which will be cross platform in java

Hi I want to create a cross platform installer in java. How to create.

Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

+3  A: 

You want to create an installer or use one? I'm assuming you want to package an application and have it deployable across different architectures.

My team had good success with lzPack. It's free and open source. Another alternative would be Java's Web Start.

LzPack ? IzPack, surely ?

You are correct - I've fixed it.

actually i have created a swing application and created its jar. Now i want to create installer for that jar file (means i want to create installable version of that jar. so how to achieve this)

We use IzPack and it works adequate for what we need, but the application is still in the early-adopter phase. Adding your own code is cumbersome and the documentation is only marginal.

A: 

AntInstaller works well. Because it's based on Ant you can do a user-friendly GUI installer and/or a shell-based headless install.

Looks interesting, but I see the last release was Jan 2007.
Nemi  2009-09-10 14:43:03
So are you suggesting it's not supported ? You can also derive from the above that it's mature and largely feature-complete, can't you ?

Have a look at this: Open Source Installers Generators in Java
