install4j IDE 13.0

install4j IDE by ej-technologies GmbH is a cross‑platform installer builder and launcher generator designed primarily for Java and other JVM-based desktop applications. It streamlines packaging, installation, and updates across Windows, macOS, and Linux, letting you create polished, native installers and application launchers without complex scripting. The visual IDE makes it easy to design installer workflows, while the built-in automation tools support reproducible builds and CI/CD pipelines.

Key capabilities:

• Native installers and media types: Create EXE/MSI for Windows, DMG/PKG for macOS, and shell-based installers or archives for Linux.
• Native launchers: Generate 32/64-bit application launchers, configure JVM parameters, memory settings, splash screens, and optionally run as a Windows service.
• JRE handling: Bundle a custom runtime, detect installed Java versions, or download a compatible JRE during installation, with precise version constraints.
• Visual screens and actions: Build interactive installers with a rich library of screens and actions; extend behavior with custom code using the install4j API.
• Updates and maintenance: Integrate a built-in updater for delivering application updates and ship a robust uninstaller with rollback support.
• Security and compliance: Support for code signing on Windows (Authenticode) and signing/notarization workflows on macOS.
• Localization: Deliver multi-language installers with straightforward translation and resource management.
• Automation and integration: Command-line compiler and project files that work smoothly with Maven, Gradle, and common CI servers.

With its combination of an intuitive UI, flexible scripting, and reliable cross-platform output, install4j IDE helps teams deliver professional desktop installers and maintainable update processes with minimal overhead.
