+<section name="The Launcher Component">
+<p>The Launcher Component is designed to be a cross platform Java
+application launcher.</p>
<p>The original Java classes come from the Jakarta Tomcat 4.0 project.</p>
-<p>The proposed package name for the Launcher component is
-<code>org.apache.commons.launcher</code>.
+<p>
+Commons-launcher eliminates the need for a batch or shell script to launch a
+Java class. Some situations where elimination of a batch or shell script may
+be desirable are:
+<ul>
+ <li>You want to avoid having to determining where certain application paths
+ are e.g. your application's home directory, etc. Determining this
+ dynamically in a Windows batch scripts is very tricky on some versions of
+ Windows or when softlinks are used on Unix platforms.</li>
+ <li>You want to avoid having to handle native file and path separators or
+ native path quoting issues.</li>
+ <li>You need to enforce certain system properties e.g.
+ <code>java.endorsed.dirs</code> when running with JDK 1.4.</li>
+ <li>You want to allow users to pass in custom JVM arguments or system
+ properties without having to parse and reorder arguments in your script.
+ This can be tricky and/or messy in batch and shell scripts.</li>
+ <li>You want to bootstrap system properties from a configuration file instead
+ hard-coding them in your batch and shell scripts.</li>
+ <li>You want to provide localized error messages which is very tricky to do
+ in batch and shell scripts.</li>
+ </ul>
