Java Portable Launcher 1.0 has been released by PortableApps.com. Java Portable Launcher allows you to easily run Java JARs from your PortableApps.com-enabled device with Java Portable installed. While it doesn't portablize their settings directly, it does work with any self-contained JAR that stores settings alongside itself or allows its settings to be saved to a portable location. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format for easy use from any portable device and integration with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.

Features

Java Portable Launcher allows you to easily run Java JARs using the Java Virtual Machine installed on your PortableApps.com-enabled device using Java Portable. It can be installed into the PortableApps.com Menu where, when it is run, it will prompt you to select a JAR file to run. It can also be run directly by dragging and dropping a JAR file onto the JavaPortableLauncher.exe file.

Java Portable Launcher does not portablize the settings of your Java programs within JAR files. Some JAR apps will either store their settings alongside the JAR or provide an option to store the settings portably, though.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Java Portable Launcher is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.
