I wonder what they will do to people's env variables? Maybe we need to put together a java runner exe. This is something I've been wondering about for a while; jakarta-commons would be the place. Something to take a file declaring jvm opts, pattern for the classpath, etc, and run the exe, the way the jedit launcher does
I'm more inclined to move the lcp functionality into Java and build a classloader in there to launch Ant. I have come close to this before (and indeed Mutant did this), so I will give it a go, between bugs.
That said, a native launcher does have some appeal
