In Linux all you need to do is create a elf binary coded in C as in ecliple--a java IDE ( $file eclipse eclipse: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped )
or a shell script( an init like script with support for chkconfig ) that spawns the java application(setting up the required classpath and other environment for it) . Only catch is that it is not a cross platform way. Earlier there used to be a Kernel module + system hack for running java applications "natively" on linux( basically calling the jvm for a .class executable marked file --don't know whether its still there) A similar hack is usually/actually used "daemonize" natively a java application in [EMAIL PROTECTED] like platforms as a native service. The shell script way is way to go in linux.
