LaunchAnywhere

A native executable used to launch a Java application, LaunchAnywhere is Zero G's Java application launcher technology. LaunchAnywhere technology creates double-click-able icons on Windows and Mac OS X. On UNIX platforms, a command-line application is created.

A LaunchAnywhere Java application launcher automatically locates an appropriate Java Virtual Machine (JVM), either bundled with the application or already installed on the system, and sets the Java options and settings (such as heap size), depending on the developer's specifications. LaunchAnywhere sets the classpath; redirects standard out and standard error; passes in system properties, Environment variables, and command-line parameters; and launches the Java application. LaunchAnywhere hides the console window by default for GUI applications, or it can be set to display the console for text-based applications. All LaunchAnywhere settings are configured within InstallAnywhere and are automatically set when the installer installs the application.
