readme.txt Jar Ajar the JAR-based packager and self-extractor for ZIP files http://textflex.com/jarajar This software is OSI Certified Open Source Software. OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative. Copyright (c) 2003-8, 2012-3, Text Flex All rights reserved. ----------------- Jar Ajar is a JAR-based self-extractor for zip files. Zip up files and package them with descriptive images and text using Jar Ajar's graphical interface. Recipients can install, launch, and re-launch applications through the same JAR file. The new Jar Ajar installer+launcher system means that you can install, launch, and re-launch programs from the same JAR file. After installing a program through the self-extractor, users are given the option to launch the program. When users run the JAR file again, it detects the previous installation and prompts the user to launch the installed program. Users are also given the option to launch the program directly, without prompting. To make a fresh installation, the installed files should be manually removed, or the JAR file should be run with the "--reset" command-line parameter. System Reqs: -Java[tm] 1.4+ (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) -Java 5 Update 10+ or Java 6+ recommended. Instructions for use: -Install the Jar Ajar package by double-clicking on the Jar Ajar self-extracting JAR file, "JarAjar-x.y.z.jar". Follow the instructions to unpack and launch the program. -The installed program can be re-launched by running the JAR file again. The JAR file will detect the previous installation and launch the program. -Use the sidebars for more detailed examples of building packages.
