Could Java be used to write a Win32 System Service?

The title sort of sums it up. I was thinking of using Jabaco seeing as it makes .EXEs (as well as .jar files), and I'm more familiar with VB syntax than with Java.

Jpackages dot com have a product called execJ which does exactly that.

I also found an article about how to do it differently here.

You could certainly do this with the Java Service Wrapper. I'm not familiar with Jabaco, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if you can simply reference the Jabaco runtime from the Java Service Wrapper. It's a pretty trivial tool to use, and the free variant should be sufficient.

I'm not sure if you could java directly to create a service, but you can use srvany.exe to run any program as a service.
