Only Windows is supported currently but other systems could be added. To start the install process, just double-click the beanshell-setup.jar from your desktop or Windows Explorer. Go to https://github.com/gungwald/beanshell-setup for the code.

The Configuration package is a thin, JDK independent, bridge between different configuration libraries and approaches such as properties files, XML and JDK 1.4 Preferences.

CLCL is a Configurable Lightweight Configuration Language, a very small library for creating arbitrary and extensible configuration files.

JSetup is an installation generator for distributing java programs with ease to end-users.

Jink provides an easy way to launch applications with different configurations. Jink uses a gui to display and edit the application parameters and also manages the application processes started.
