Hello,
The Jakarta Commons team has announced the release
of the Commons Launcher v1.1.
What is the Jakarta Commons Launcher?
The Launcher Component is designed to be a cross
platform Java application launcher.
The original Java classes come from the Jakarta
Tomcat 4.0 project.
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:
* 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.
* You want to avoid having to handle native file
and path separators or native path quoting issues.
* You need to enforce certain system properties
e.g. java.endorsed.dirs when running with JDK 1.4.
* 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.
* You want to bootstrap system properties from a
configuration file instead hard-coding them in your
batch and shell scripts.
* You want to provide localized error messages
which is very tricky to do in batch and shell scripts.
