Creating Java Installation package on MAC OS X
1. Go to Finder->Applications->Utilities->jar Bundler
2. Define your application similar to the screens below:
Notes:
Main Class: Select here the JAR where your class with the main function is located.

Notes: Add your properties file and any other resource file if you have any
Add all the others JARs your application is dependant on.
I tried to add "icons" directory here with all the graphics, but the application did not find the icons. The right solution was to open the application package after it's creation and add the 'icons" directory withh all its content inside the package.
Notes: select "Set Working Directory to inside Application Package" if you want that your java code will find relative paths like "icons/button.gif"
Set minimum and maximum heap size
3. Upgrading: the Java package on Mac OSX is represented by a directory "ApplicationName.app" containing all the resources for this application. The posiible upgrade can be a tar (tar.gz) file including the jar/resource file that need to be upgraded. If "tar -xvf upgrade_filename.tar" is manually run in the "ApplicationName.app" directory all the files in the package will be replaced by the new files from tar archive.

Installing Bugzilla on a Windows XP computer already running Apache and MySQL
The complete expalnation I followed is here.
The first task was to verify that I can run another instance of Apache on a different port and can configure this instance to run as a Windows service.
This process is described here.
I copied httpd.conf file with the name "httpd_for_bugzill.conf" and have made the changes recommended in the article above.
Then I open a cmd window and typed:
apache -k install -n "Apache for Bugzilla" -f "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd_for_bugzilla.conf"
This installed the new windows serivice "Apache for Bugzilla" which uses "httpd_for_bugzilla.conf" file.
Then I went ot "Control Panel/Administartive Tools/Services" and selected "Apache for Bugzilla" -> Start to start the new Win service.
I downloaded latest stable Bugzilla release from http://www.bugzilla.org/download and I have uncompressed the .tar.gz archive.
The rest of the installation was quite straight forward, probably excluding the fact that some Perl modules described in the installation guide above where not found by the Perl packages management utility (e.g. GD package), so I did not install them
The tricky thing was an email configuration, but I finished that quite fast since fortunately we have a configured SMTP server.
