Efficient way of distributing java application

843807Jan 23 2003 — edited Feb 21 2003

Hi,
I have a java application that I can startup using the command

java appName

Now I want to be able to distribute this application. I have a few questions for that:

1)
How can I check if Java Runtime Environment is already installed or not? If it is I want to skip step 2. I cannot do this from java for sure because I am not sure if JRE is available or not.

2)
Assuming that the client PC does not have java installed on it, how can I automate the installation of Java Runtime Environment and after that install the java application.

3)
Also is there anyway I can go around without having to type the following to start my app?
c:\>java appName

Thanks
-Chirag
