    <h2>The Problem</h2> <p>Currently I use exe4j 4.4.2 to wrap our client app in a Windows native executable, but the result does not integrate with Windows 7 so well. </p> <p>For example: When I right click in the task bar it only offers a pop-up to close the application but no pinning. Eclipse' Equinox launcher on the other hand does that with bravado.</p> <p>I'm looking for a java exe launcher which has the following features:</p> <ul> <li>Wraps jars in Windows native executables (no Java Web Start or similar)</li> <li>Doesn't extract the jar from the executable</li> <li>Doesn't need write access in "Program Files"</li> <li>Uses executable filename as process name (only one process)</li> <li>Integrates well with Windows 7 (esp. pinning in the taskbar)</li> <li>Allows setting of JVM arguments (esp. heap size)</li> <li>Flexible customization for JRE search</li> <li>Lightweight</li> <li>Actively maintained</li> <li>Integrates well in Ant build</li> <li>Preferably free</li> </ul> <p>I have checked the following:</p> <h2>exe4j</h2> <ul> <li>Windows 7 integration lacking</li> <li>It's not expensive but ordering and distribution of licenses to the build machines is a pain. </li> <li>JRE search not flexible enough</li> </ul> <h2>Eclipse Equinox</h2> <ul> <li>Not lightweight</li> <li>Seems to do everything I want, except that I have no idea how to use it with a non-eclipse-based app.</li> <li>Can I use it outside of OSGI, PDE-Build world?</li> </ul> <h2>WinRun4J</h2> <ul> <li>JRE search not well documented</li> <li>Seems not widely used despite incredible feature set, what am I missing?</li> </ul> <h2>Launch4J</h2> <ul> <li>Doesn't support setting the process name in Windows 7 (Bug ID 3353972). There is a patch (Bug ID 1670471) but it has been rejected with reference to jliftoff which is dead. </li> <li>JRE search not flexible enough.</li> </ul> <h2>JSmooth</h2> <ul> <li>Seems not to be actively maintained.</li> <li>Latest release is from 2007, well before Windows 7.</li> </ul> <p>Are there any other options? Is there a chance to use the Eclipse launcher with a non Eclipse-base application?</p>

    1. COSounds like what you *really* want is a howto on using the Eclipse native launcher without Equinox.

    2. COAFAIK, intellij idea is using exe4j and it can be pinned. There could be something you'd have to do from code, I don't remember exactly.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
