Here is what Google did internally: - Bundle all C/C++ native libraries, and link them all together with the java launcher - e.g you produce your own java.exe that has your C/C++ libraries linked in, then you slap the .jar file - for extra bonus you can slap at the back of your .exe and make it load from there Voila - you have single executable (almost) with all you need, and you don't need to unpack .dll's anywhere But... you must compile java.exe yourself...
