I have now tried to make a release package of the vic20 emulator here.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to put everything into a single jar, so the program needs the included data & images directories for running.
I have also provided a windows .exe built with launch4j.
Please let me know if you have problems running the emulator.
(Other than "it is running too slow", because that's a feature not a bug )
So why another emulator?
It is of course not in any way comparable to VICE or MESS wrt accurate and fast emulation. But I use it for debugging ML programs and find it quite convenient, esp. in combination with an IDE for launching debugging sessions (e.g. Eclipse).
There are a few features I'd rather see sooner than later, like configurable variable watch windows and cycle counting/profiling, disk drive emulation, etc. but the developer/maintainer is too slow/inept/stupid.

I did not spend too much time on my Vic-20 related projects lately, but now I wrapped up a shiny new release of the Emulator.
Download
It includes FE3 Super RAM mode, IEC device configuration & file read support, and some improvements for debugging & profiling.
Have fun!

When I presented the new release at our Commodore Meeting in Graz last Friday, I noticed, that the package did not work correctly, because I forgot to include some vital part of log4j.
The emulator started, but the console window was not showing up, which makes it quite useless. Did anybody else notice?
Anyway, I made a new package that is tested on a few machines by friends and should work.
That said, I recommend giving the emulator a try, if you are tired of playing games in VICE and want to explore the Vic-20's inner workings using a "friendly UI"
