hi all,  
        this may seem a strange request but here goes.. 

IBM ships  its runtimes with a javaw launcher on all platforms - not just 
Windows.

We do this for consistency reasons so that applications using Java know that 
they can just call "javaw"  on any platform and not have to worry about getting 
a console window show up.   It makes life just a little simpler and easier for 
everyone.   

What I'd like to explore is either getting javaw added to all platforms in 
OpenJDK- or figure out if there is a moral equivalent that can be used instead. 
    

Your thoughts would be appreciated..

Cheers

Steve
