And then, you'd need to have a .bat/.sh routine to start up the java based startup script...But, hey, we can do THAT in JPython too! But wait.... Since the scripts basically just set a couple of ENV variable and then "java xxx", you're in an endless loop. The simplest solution is that the tools can be distributed completely as a single .jar file, and be started with: java -jar app.jar. I believe in Linux, you could make a .jar file "executable", and then only have to type app.jar. On Mac OS X, they have their own bundler that makes ".jar"s launchable from the desktop. I don't recall if .jar can be appropriately associated on Windows or not.
