Creating icons for the desktop environment in question is pretty much the same for Java (or a sh/bat file wrapping it) as for any other program. As for bundling a DB with the frontend, that obviously depends mostly on the DB you want to use. HSQL (which is fully in Java) might be bundleable, the real RDBMS (think Postgre or god forbid Oracle) aren't (especially the latter is a real PITA to set up even for experienced admins).
