Is there any way a NetBeans Platform application can be distributed using only a single JAR file; ideally we would like to use a single JAR file for all platforms, but we would be willing to entertain using different JAR files for each of our supported platforms.

I realize I should have been a bit more specific: By distribute I do not mean install. We would like to be able to run a NetBeans platform application simply by executing a single executable JAR file, with no other files or installation required.

I'm sure the distribution of the application into a single jar could be done using one of the following installers.

There is nothing that stops you using this approach, although it is worth noting that you can generate native installers for most major platforms - Linux, Mac and Windows and an OS-independent ZIP distribution using just the menu options in the NetBeans IDE.
