title: Best Method to run a Java Application as a *nix Daemon or Windows Service?
body: <p>I am looking for the best method to run a Java Application as a *NIX daemon or a Windows Service.  I've looked in to the <a href="http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/" rel="noreferrer">Java Service Wrapper</a>, the <a href="http://commons.apache.org/daemon/jsvc.html" rel="noreferrer">Apache Commons project 'jsvc'</a>, and the <a href="http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html" rel="noreferrer">Apache Commons project 'procrun'</a>.  So far, the Java Service Wrapper looks like it's the best option... but, I'm wondering if there are any other "Open Source friendly" licensed products out there.</p>
