[Jython-users] Suggestions for packaging a stand-alone application

[Xavier N. <fx...@is...>]

We are writing a stand-alone application that has a Swing GUI and uses 
a few external jars and a few resources such as GUI icons (no third 
party Python modules by now). It is required to run in Windows, Linux, 
and Mac OS X.

I am used to write server-side software where installation and 
execution is automated via scripts that set up the necessary 
environment, classpaths, root dirs, etc. you can rely on, but in a 
client-side program I don't how this stuff is cleanly solved.

How would you organize the files so that it was easily packaged and 
deployed?
