It was written clean-room in some client's office (no NDA, but still, engineering ethics), but I may have a copy somewhere on a backup in offline IRL storage, but it was written for JDK 1.2-1.4 IIRC so it won't run and it's chocked full of confidential / proprietary apps (which it installs). It called a few C Win32 APIs to create icons and write registry entries, on Linux I think it just wrote files and maybe ran `ldconfig`. It was super dumb, fugly but it shipped and worked consistently. There was even Swing (pre-AWT) skinnable branding background images. It was probably 450 lines of Java and 80 lines of C. Autoplay even worked decently on Windows and it came up in under 8 seconds because I optimized the ISO image for file load order to minimize seeks, and that's booting an entire 1.4 JRE from a 4x CD-ROM drive to a usable, interactive state.
