Does launch4j work for all platforms?

Question

I have an application that has a few parts:

A launcher
The main data (the bin folder)

The main data will be in the form of a few executable jar files, and some other files. However, I want to make the launcher have some 'native' components to it.(A custom Icon, Version Info, etc.) I am going to use launch4j so I can write the launcher in java for portability, but still give it a native look. However, I do not know if launch4j can wrap executable jar files for the macintosh or linux platform.

So can I, a windows user, use launch4j to wrap my apps in native formats for other platforms?

If not, is there another jar file wrapper that will do this?

No launch4j is only for windows. I don't use other platform so I can't help you to find wrapper for it. — Tako, Mar 22 '13 at 20:00

For Mac OSX, you can use Oracle's appbundler: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/packagingAppsForMac.html

Answer: It can't. I will just wrap up my app in a icon.
