OK cool.  I figured this problem must be well solved by now.  Wrapping in a
native executable sounds like a smart way to go (much like tcl distribution
with starkits and tclkits).

Saptarshi do you know is there a simple way to do this, preferably using
maven, which doesn't necessarily involve another massive dependency (like
netbeans in this case)?  Maybe vuze is smaller - I haven't looked yet.

Regards
Bob
