Well JavaFX looked like the holy grail until I came across this part:

Bundle per target platform
Bundle formats are platform specific. Currently a native bundle can only be produced for the same system you are building on.  That is, if you want to deliver native app bundles on Windows, Linux and Mac you will have to build your project on all three platforms.

That simply won't work for us and I'm not sure how that design was ever considered acceptable.

My current release process is as simple as running "rake release master vX.Y.Z" which checks out the master branch of the source, tags it with the given version number, compiles it, obfuscates it, packages it into native bundles / installers, uploads the releases to our server, adds the new release to our database, and notifies users of a new update.
