Capsule is a packaging and deployment tool for JVM applications. A capsule is a single executable JAR that contains everything your application needs to run either in the form of embedded files or as declarative metadata. It can contain your JAR artifacts, your dependencies and resources, native libraries, the require JRE version, the JVM flags required to run the application well, Java or native agents and more. In short, a capsule is a self-contained JAR that knows everything there is to know about how to run your application the way it's meant to run.
<BR><BR>
One way of thinking about a capsule is as a fat JAR on steroids (that also allows native libraries and never interferes with your dependencies) and a declarative startup script rolled into one; another, is to see it is as the deploy-time counterpart to your build tool. Just as a build tool manages your build, Capsule manages the launching of your application.

Capsule - Dead-Simple Packaging and Deployment for JVM Apps

Packages your JAR, assets and a JVM for distribution on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, adding a native executable file to make it appear like a native app. Packr is most suitable for GUI applications, such as games made with libGDX.

IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications. It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers. IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run. 
  <UL>
	<LI>Native OS integration: Windows shortcuts, Freedesktop.org compliant X11 window, Windows registry </LI>
	<LI>Build integration with Apache Ant</LI>
	<LI>Uninstaller removes all the mess that you installed</LI>
	<LI>Support for console installations (manual ar automated). This works locally and remotely (via SSH)</LI>
	<LI>Record an installation on one machine, then replay it on many other machines</LI>
	<LI>Get data from users, to customize your installation</LI>
	<LI>Package once, and deploy the very same installer to many platforms</LI>
