The program has a few drawbacks such as always trying to group 6's together and insisting on some bit of symmetry whereas I prefer a scattered numbers placement, but I run the generator over and over while watching TV to get the puzzles I might want to use.
So that I can avoid being hacked I have no normal Java installed but instead use PortableApps.com Platform to launch the Java Portable Launcher to launch jPortable and run JSudoku.

Watch the Log panel to be certain the
rating is what you want and that
the number of bottleneck singles is low,
between 1 to 8 depending on the type
of puzzle being generated, and that the
numbers of givens is OK.
Watch that the puzzle does not have too
much of certain numbers in one part of
the puzzle such as a majority of 7's in
one part of a Samurai puzzle.
