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
Couldn't javaw just be a symlink on some platforms? I don't see how it
would be any different on, say, GNU/Linux platforms.
I agree, a symlink in the distro would be sufficient.
