Java SE 6 [4] uses "-windows".
JAP SDK [5] uses "-windows".
Tomcat has a zip bundle but for Windows-specific installer [1], it uses
"Windows Service Installer".
JBoss [2] and Jetty [3] has platform independent installer.
Where do you see winnt more widely used ? Even if others are using it,
I'd rather be aligned with other products from Sun.
