Java Executable Questions
Hello!
My name is Whitaker Kohls. I recently downloaded Moneydance, and I notice that it uses a JRE.
I write programs in Java, and when creating a Windows .exe file (using Launch4J), I could not find a way to rename the process name.
It shows up as "OpenJDK Platform Binary/Java Runtime" with a sub process named the same as the window.
However, Moneydance, shows up a "Moneydance.exe". How were you able to do this? I tried researching this on the web and hit a lot (very outdated) dead ends. Is the main program not written in Java?
If you could shed any light on this, that would be great!
Thank you for your time,
-Whitaker Kohls

Moneydance is written in Java. If you look inside the install directories you can find moneydance.jar. You can even launch MD using just the JVM and the .jar files.
I believe the .exe uses install4j - refer:

You can write pure java or Py(Jy)thon extensions.
Example (Mac) launch scripts can be found on my site:
