Good afternoon. I have an application written in java. It is collected in jar. It is necessary to create an installer for windows, create a directory in the program files, copy the jar there, create shortcuts from the desktop and from the panel, and if there is no Java on the machine, then it offers to download and install it. Maybe someone did or knows what to read?

In the case when you need a cross-platform installer, which is itself a jar file, you can use IzPack . Naturally, it is better to use "native" installers for each OS, but in the case when you need to "make it quick" - IzPack is convenient.
Also there is a handy Excelsior Installer ? which is a wizard for NSIS.
I had to use both at work.
