As I remember there was an early port version of JavaAppLauncher that was supported by Mike Swingler. I may have a copy pulled of that somewhere. Then there was the Scott Kovatch and Greg Brown AppBundler project which came out with an Oracle sponsored version of JavaAppLauncher. The infinitekind project was forked off of that. If you are referring to the first pass Mike Swingler supported code I would say there is probably no use of that by anyone at this point, except maybe the copy I pulled which I'm not even using. Mike Swingler could probably tell you more.
