Outside the scope of this JEP, but: a smarter launch protocol may be
useful for reasons beyond on-ramping. For example, instead of only
looking for default constructors, you could look for a constructor
taking an object of type LauchEnvironment, which is something to be
suitably defined.
Yes, though we're dipping into that water cautiously. One thing that
this JEP opens up is the ability for abstract classes to contribute a
main method:
abstract class TestCase {
void main() { runTest(this.getClass()); }
}
and then any test case becomes launchable:
class MyTestCase extends TestCase {
// test case
}
just by running
java MyTestCase
This eliminates a whole category of contortions that frameworks have to
provide (or worse, often don't provide) for running a single test case,
service, etc from the command line.
