Blocker Description
Install4j v 8.0 (now 8.0.1) includes a lot of new features. New features of immediate relevance to Jalview include:
* MSI wrapper for Windows installers.
* New on-demand JRE bundle bundle creation with automatic download from the OpenJDK providers AdoptOpenJDK, Liberica and JetBrains Runtime.
* Added a cross-platform "Register a URL handler" action. This allows you to start a launcher from a link in a web browser and facilitates migrations from Java Web Start to install4j.
* File associations and URL handlers for macOS archives.
* File associations for Linux/Unix desktop environments.
* "Create start menu entry" and "Add a desktop link" action: Additional entries for the created .desktop file can now be specified.
* Linux/Unix: Additional content for the .desktop service file can be configured on the "Executable info->Unix options" step of the launcher wizard. This is important for archives and also applies to the "Create program group" action.
