after doing some benchmarks we now know for sure that we have to

JavaApplicationLauncher...

You can do this with Java Web Start. Java Web Start can make an application bundle that lanches your app. I would start there.

I doubt that this is a solution for our problem, at least in the case of stand-alone-no-network-machines. We definitely don't want Java Web Start to pull the latest version of our servers, but we want that users who download a .dmg or get it on CD can run the application like they can with any other application.

Or did I miss a way to make JWS work locally? (without running a web
server an connecting to localhost)

Has anyone tried using a file: URL for the CODEBASE? You'd need an absolute pathname, but if your distribution media is a CD or disk image you should be able to construct one. The user experience would be very different from that of a traditional installer, or drag-and-drop install, so I've never pursued this strategy. It should load the JWS cache from the files on the CD or disk image, unless there is something in the JNLP spec I missed that requires an HTTP URL ... _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
