We even discussed recently that launcher lacks similar feature, and I
anticipate other developers will raise complains soon.
Despite the fact that "vm.assert_dialog" check was removed, the support
is still there: "vm.assert_dialog" controls the behaviour of the default
handler.
However, you are right that now the overall behaviour is determined
by the launcher, so we need to change launcher correspondingly.
Shall we agree that launcher should parse and handle this property? The
name doesn't look very good to me (Geir will surely ask to change it).
What about vm.windows.crt.debug.dialog ? AFAIK the property has no
effect on linux, and the word "assert" doesn't reflect the purpose of
this property too.
Now that I thought about it some more, what about controlling the
launcher default crash handler on all platforms? Specifying something
like -Dhy.launcher.crash.handler=false to disable crash handler
installation in launcher.
