Clio

Clio lets you build self-contained, single-jar offline installers that serve your apps through a built-in, multi-threaded, light-weight Web server to Web Start.

Clio uses the user's computer name in the jnlp codebase instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1 that only allow loopbacks. Clio patches the jnlp codebase in the jnlp file on-the-fly before it sends it off to Web Start to allow you to share the app packed up with Clio with everyone.

Clio also lets you change the jnlp file's codebase on the command line if you need to troubeshoot an installation in case the installers default port is in use or proxy settings confuse Web Start.

Clio is designed as a small self-contained Java app with no third-party library dependencies such as SAX 1 or 2 compliant XML parsers. Clio includes a tiny XML parser and runs in all classpath settings and spares you from jar hell.
