[izpack-devel] Single Installer Instance

[Jeff Gordon]

I haven't done this with Java.  I know Eclipse and some other applications
do this, but was wondering if there was an easy way to implement it.  My
experience has been that each Java application blindly launches in a new JVM
with no way to check in an OS neutral way whether an instance of the same
application is already running.
