About our name.

ERIC is a four-letter acronym for Execute, Run, Invoke and Call. These four words are a call to action. They share the same basic meaning: do something.

About our goal.

Distribute your finished Java application as an executable program on Linux and Microsoft Windows. With the eric tool, you can support

• CD-ROM distribution, where your customer can skip installation,
• Erica distribution, where packages are downloaded ahead of time to a local cache,
• web distribution, where packages are downloaded as needed by the running application, and
• classic distribution, where every Java package is installed on your customer's local drive (or file server).
