HI Blair, Can you write a launcher app? That is, one that you can launch via the exec plugin, and which can do the translation and launch the other app?
Alternately, I think you could use the ant run plugin - that should have properties which provide the actual class path - and then you would use ant to do the launching. - Russ On Oct 15, 2013, at 12:04 PM, "Jennings, Blair" <blair.jenni...@nuance.com> wrote: > Hi Russell, > > Unfortunately, the app in question is not mine to change.
