Hi

You're welcome. Signing JARs won't be enough but it is necessary. I'm currently writing a tutorial about JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation, I'm going to publish it as is, unfinished and there is a huge section about deployment. This section contains the details that I forgot to mention yesterday about Java Web Start and security changes with tons of references to the official Oracle tutorials.

The problem with the MP3 doesn't come from the library that you use (JavaZoom), it comes from the MP3 format. There is a very few chances that you get into trouble because of it but OGG is more efficient, open and largely used.

NSIS is good but keep in mind that:
- it's not the same experience, it's rather "Download, install and run"
- there are better tools to make an executable from a Java application if you want to keep it simple for you and for the end users

I'm going to post a link to my tutorial today as soon as possible in order to avoid rewriting the same thing here, with a list of interesting tools. Stay tuned ;)

Edit.: Please don't only take care of Windows. I'll show you some tools to create some bundles for other operating systems without having to install them as I fear that you're still under XP :p
