We have always expected people would create their own launchers for

Here we go: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1797
Let the improving begin. :-)
I think you misread my comment. The idea was we would have one simple
launcher that does NOT attempt to do everything for everyone, since it
would be a never ending list of features.
erm..okay, but how is it wrong to make it at least a little bit more
extensible so that it does _not_ actually need to do everything?
It is not a question or right or wrong.
Obviously there is only so much that one can do before, while or after
launching the framework.
If all we are talking about is making the static Main.main() invoke an
instance method, then yes this would be pretty straightforward; however,
I fail to see how this is so much easier than just taking the two
classes in the Main subproject and including them in your own project to
do whatever you want with them. Either way you have to be intimately
familiar with what Main is doing, which is why we try to keep it simple.
I don't really see much danger for
kitchen-sink-syndrome here.
You think you're the first to ask for a feature to be added to the
launcher? :-)
