Re:Packr – Packages Java apps for distribution on Windows, L... by userbinator on Monday May 05, 2014 @03:20AM (#7697316)
In order to best integrate with the OS, you will probably have some runtime-specific settings that you'd like to apply (such as memory, or GUI specific-settings). If you just distribute a JAR, that can't be easily set.

The simplest solution is to have the JAR itself do this, relaunching the JVM if necessary.

Packr itself is distributed as a single JAR file, which I find a bit ironic.
