associate a custom file extension with my java program on windows

is there a way to associate a custom file extension with my java program on windows? I have installAnywhere to create an installer. But I'm not sure how this can be done if it's possible. Every installer on window does this, but what if it's in Java. I imagine it would require registry modification by the installer...

Take a look at Launch4j. It allows you to wrap your java application into a native Windows .exe file, with which it should be trivial to associate a custom file extension.

Last time I dealt with InstallAnywhere was back when it was made by ZeroG, so I don't quite remember how it's done there. I'm using Nullsoft Install System now which has a convenient macro to register file extensions, I'm sure InstallAnywhere has a similar facility.
