Limegreen is a cross platform java application template which streamlines the process of creating java applications that run on different platforms.

It aims to produce the most native experience possible on each platform, including producing a .exe for Windows, .app and .dmg on Mac OSX and a .jar for Linux/Unix and other platforms.
