It would be nice if a friendlier installer was used. I'm not going to go so far as to suggest that platform specific installers be made (for instance using NSIS http://nsis.sf.net, but that'd be nice to). At the least it'd be nice if the .class file was gotten rid of in place of a .jar. At least this is something people would be familiar with, and it has the added benefit of there being mechanisms setup on most systems to make double clicking a .jar be the same as java -jar jar'ing it.
