I am a little new to programming so please bear with me. I create a lot of self-extractors that I upload to a ftp site which my clients then download (with the self-extractor putting the files I zipped up to the right spot). I am trying to automate this process on my end since it is rather repetitive.

I think I can figure out how to create the zip and how to upload the file once created but I cannot figure out how to create use winzip se to create a self-extractor from the created zip file. WinZip has a command line interface but WinZIp SE apparently does not. 

Any help would be appreciated...I am planning on writing this code in java btw.

Thanks.
