The source code for the PortableApps platform (launcher etc.) is available from SourceForge, but kind of difficult to find there (at least it took me half an hour - again).

GExperts: AI Rewrite and COBOL Port Announced for Immediate Development
(Just in case you didn't notice the publication date: This was an April Fools joke. I have had some experience with COBOL and I would never ever use it unless somebody pays me thousands of Euros per hour.) The venerable Delphi IDE extension GExperts is about to undergo a revolutionary transformation, with plans announced to … Continue reading GExperts: AI Rewrite and COBOL Port Announced for Immediate Development
