It would be 'neat' to have an .exe wrapper, so it feels like a 'normal' app. This simply envokes the normal 'Java stuff' but might be handy if people don't have the latest java runtime etc. Don't worry about mac uses lol.
A .EXE wrapper is possible...but is quite a bit of work, and certainly has the cross platform problem...And, it would do nothing to solve the problem of not having a java runtime...that wouldn't be in the EXE anyway.
That being said, a proper java installation should let you double click on a jar file anyway. It turns out that the Mac version already has a complicated wrapper around it that makes it look like a native Mac application, thanks to Nancy!
