A toolkit to build installers, un-installers and updaters. Generate your native self extracting installers using Java or any other JVM based language.

• Immature, but can build moderately complex installers, updaters and uninstallers.
• Current focus is entirely on Linux, with Windows and Mac OS support coming soon.

There aren't any docs to help you out just yet, but the general process is ...

• Create a new Java project
• Add ninstall-lib and probably (ninstall-swt and ninstall-linux) to your project.
• Create a new Java application like whats in example1
• Run your Java installer builder application.
• Look in target, there will be an executable installer.
