install4j is available for download as a fully featured evaluation version.

• a new option to allow only a single instance of the application to be executed. Starting the application a second time will bring the existing application windows to front.
• the run-time directory variables %EXE4J_EXEDIR% and %EXE4J_TEMPDIR% that can now be used in the VM parameters field to construct a custom bootclasspath.
• a number of usability improvements in the exe4j wizard.
• fixes for issues with earlier versions of exe4j.

• a new session type for profiling Java Web Start applications
• a new class-resolved real-time allocations monitor
• offline profiling for scripted profiling runs
• a profiling API for programmatically controlling JProfiler at run time

jclasslib is a library and a collection of utilities and applications to view and manipulate Java class files. jclasslib's core functionality consists of mechanisms to read, modify, and write class files compiled for the JVM. It has a class file browser built on top of this, which can be used as a standalone GUI application or as a Netbeans module.

Changes: This release features major bug fixes in the class file viewer application and adds support for the current version of Netbeans. The performance of reading and writing class files in the bytecode is more than doubled, and new concepts and facilities have been introduced for the manipulation of constant pools and instruction lists.
