Hi, Installer would be fine to have for the official release. However, I suppose that at least Windows users will need administrator rights for successful installation. Therefore I would like to see also the batch file as an alternative and still relatively simple way for running OpenJUMP without need to actually install anything. I have copied Java, OpenJUMP and a lot of data on an external USB hard disk and it is extremely nice to just plug the drive to any computer, run the batch file and go on with a demonstration.
