Class Launcher

java.lang.Object

alma.acs.vmtools.Launcher

public class Launcher
extends java.lang.Object

The VmTools Launcher.

What it does: VmTools Launcher will first put up a little quick-starter Gui, then it will run the actual application. The quick-starter Gui contains buttons to run the actual tools, the actual application will be started through its main(String[]) method.

Using VmTools Launcher: The first command line argument to the Launcher must be the fully qualified name of the application's main class (containing the main method of the application). This first element will be stripped off, and all following arguments will be passed to the application.

Adding more VmTools: A VmTool

• must be a descendant of JComponent
• must possess a public zero-arg constructor

The VmTool's class is to be added to the class array implemented in this class. This may change to something more dynamic in a future version.
