GROAN AUTODEPLOYER~

The groan autodeployer is an executable wrapper/launcher for Java applications on Windows. If no appropriate JRE is found on the user's system, then the groan autodeployer is able to download an install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from a location of your choice. The groan autodeployer is configured using the String table in a resource editor such as XN Resource Editor or Resource Hacker.

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
{
1,  "MyApp"
2,  "MyApp.jar"
3,  "-jar MyApp.jar"
4,  "1"
5,  "8"
6,  "-1"
7,  "-1"
8,  "example.com"
9,  "/Dep/jre_win_x86.zip"
10,  "example.com"
11,  "/Dep/jre_win_x64.zip"
12, "\\MyBrand"
13, ""
14, "0"
15, "1"
16, ""
}

Compiled binaries are included in the repository (32 bit: groan-tcc.exe, 64 bit: groan-gcc.exe). A software like Resource Hacker, XN Resource Editor, or Anders Melander's free Resource Editor is required to configure the pre-compiled binary file. An alternative method is recompiling with a custom .rc file using windres and gcc.

This software is public domain. No permissions or license documents are required for its use.
