Packaging Java App For Windows without Windows

[Gerry]

Hi.
I'm developing a Java application on a Mac.
I don't have access to a Windows computer.

Is it possible to package the Java application to be easily runnable on
Windows without needing an installer?

I would just like the user to be able to unzip the zip file containing
my application and be able to double-click something to run the
application.

This is commonly how applications are packaged on the Mac.

I am willing to assume that the JRE has been installed on the user's
computer. ie. not include the JRE with my application.

Thanks for any pointers.

Jar them. And there are free installers based on Java in which you also can
put the necessary JRE.

Make sure you get storing personal setting right for example. Oh. And
further, izPack looks nice to me...
