I used InstallAnywhere in both Windows and Linux. As you noted, it works
nicely in Windows. However, the Linux version is deficient. It does not
create desktop icons (in fact, has no notion of icons at all), and just
copies files into a designated directory (it does create a startup script,
though). If one wants to create a desktop icon, he must do it manually using
GNOME facilities (don't know if it is any diffrent under KDE).

InstallAnywhere claims to create installers that work under Linux.
While I've used it on Windows (and liked it), I've never used it on
Linux, so can't say how well it works.
You can use their InstallAnywhere Now! product for free.

I have got a software that is meant to work on linux plateform.I need
to make a installer for it,so that it checks for the presence of java
on the system first then depending on its existance start coping files
in a user defined directory.
I want to make the interface in java swing.Do i need to have java
installed on the intended machine or it could somehow run from the
installer CD iself.
I am totally new to linux.can anybdy help?
