Have you thought about making an Eclipse RCP app?  Downside is that
the end result would have to be shipped as a zip file, but you could
probably ship it with a shell script that does all the proper
installation magic for you (start menu, etc).

As a bonus, it will be platform agnostic.  And you get support for
branding and update management.
