7 7  == OS Strategies ==
8 8  
9 9  * Java: builds a single runnable jar file out of a collection of jar files.
10 10  * Mac: builds a XYZ.app bundle that includes all jar dependencies.
11 -* Windows: Does a Java build and creates an [[NSIS>>http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page]] launcher for the runnable jar. Both ##".exe"## and ##".jar"## files are required to be in the same directory for the launcher to work.
9 +* Windows: Performs a Java build and creates an [[NSIS>>url:http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page||shape="rect"]] launcher for the runnable jar. Both {{code language="none"}}".exe"{{/code}} and {{code language="none"}}".jar"{{/code}} files are required to be in the same directory for the launcher to work.

13 -== Build Prerequisites and OS Specifics ==
11 +== OS Requirements ==
14 14  
13 +* Mac launcher can be built on Mac only, as it requires a JavaApplicationStab file.
14 +* Windows launcher can be built on Windows only.
15 15  * Java launcher can be assembled on any platform and has no prerequisites.
16 -* Mac launcher can be built on Mac, as it requires a JavaApplicationStab file.
17 -* Windows launcher can currently be build on Windows only.
18 -* Windows launcher requires [[NSIS>>http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page]] to be installed on the build machine.
