Well , ass you all know,  this is pain in the a.. when you have to work
parallel on two version plus web version is much better in many ways.

What I'm intersting is next thing.

pc.
(I will create setup.exe and send iton cd like client they use now)
So when client click on shortcut on his/her pc (all of them are windows
operated) he gets this application started via tomcat.

tomcat as classic webserver but to use it as background application to
handle requests and generate pages ...
Is there some tomcat solution that can work like this?

I also have some significant numebr of users that use client version of this Can I pack somehow web application and tomcat and install it on user client Well there is trick. In order to work with all firewalls dont want to start

I suggest you to try Java Web Start. In short it allows you to run Java applications (swing, desktop applications) directly from the web. It handles upgrading to news versions, firewalls (just http / https), caching jars on client machine, etc.
