Creating a Windows desktop shortcut to a Java desktop application

smighDec 30 2011 — edited Jan 2 2012
Is there a way to create a windows desktop shortcut programmatically from within a Java application.

All I've found while searching were ways to manually create the shortcut or other alternatives, like a bash file, web start or other deployment methods, but is there a way to create an actual shortcut type of file within Java?
