Hi ,

I am a windows machine user and i want to create my own openwebstart.exe from the available source code.
How ever I am able to compile the source code but cannot generate .exe.

Please provide the procedure to create so.

Thanks
Vivek Kumar

We use install4j to build the installer and the executable.
Since we do have some customer data in this project we cannot make it public.

If you want to test any change you made to OWS you can simply replace the jar file in the installation directory with the jar file you compiled.
The exe file is nothing but a launcher for the JVM which displays the splash screen until the first window of the Java application is displayed.
