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.
