Hello all,
I have a question. I want to create a single installation .class file for my program just like Forte has and does. However, I can't figure out how forte does it. How does one create a java .class file that will install a whole bunch of other files on the disk? Can anyone give me any ideas?
Thanks for your time

Agree. Its neat and I would like to know how it is done as well; however, there is a simple straightforward why to accomplish the same thing.
* Make a Jar'ed distribution of your installation tree (including any .jar files that your system uses).
* In the default package or in "com.myCompany.Install" make a java / class file with its own static main called "install.java" that copies out the distribution into an installation directory.
You could also use one of the commercial installer programs. Maybe installshield?
