title: Distributing a jar
body: <p>I'm distributing a jar file, with associated libraries, media, documentation, etc. I would like to create a simple deb/rpm package for linux users, and I would also like to distribute this for windows. What is the best way to go about setting up the jar to play nicely with debs? Every deb file I've looked at so far has been c/c++ with a makefile, which isn't at all helpful. How do I package my java jar for distribution?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong> It would be nice if this could automate the placement of conf files in /etc/project-name/sample.conf, icons in /usr/share, etc.</p>
