Java app installer

[Dirk Bruere at NeoPax]

Looking for a (ideally) freeware installer for my applications so the
user can just hit "Install" and they get put in the correct folders (XP)
with desktop icons associated. Nothing complex required - no registry
stuff etc.

Nice app, but when I first googled for "application installer xp java" I
got a load of crap.

It doesn't hurt to try a few different search terms, based on the
results you got. Installers for XP and Windows in general are so
common, I'd guess that's was what threw Google off.

Mostly about installing XP, or Java.

For those not familiar with this regional variation of the second person
plural*, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Y'all_Water_Tower>.

*Cf. All y'all.

"Y'all" is plural the way "you" is plural - i.e., it can be construed in the
singular. There are rules to that that I, as a d'ed Yankee, cannot elucidate.

One option I didn't see there that should always be considered is Java
Web Start. I've used JWS as a customer (the Kiseido Go Server
http://www.gokgs.com/ uses it for their client) and I've been very happy
with it. It's easy to launch, and updates automatically. I'm sure Bill
Shubert (the author) finds it a big time saver.

Don't forget that the Java Plug-In now supports drag to install:

When a newbie asks for help tracking a bug in a code snippet, the problem is usually is the code he did not post, hence the value of an SSCCE.

Standard English uses the same word "you" for singular and plural.
This works for face to face communication where the context is
relatively obvious. However, other dialects too like to be more
precise. In Canada, in Newfoundland, you say "yous" for the plural.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

Same used to be true in NZ (and maybe still is) but we spelled and
pronounced it "youse".
