System.exit code ist not return by the launcher

Michael Krauter — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:23:06 -0000

I wrote a small program.
The launcher is configured as a console program. The java Main-Class calls System.exit(1).
This value is not returned by the launcher.

Are there possible solutions for this ?

JRE search order?

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:51:56 -0000

Hi,

I wondered how and where WinRun4J searches the dll. With a quick look in the source code I didn't find where it is done, can someone give me hint? A short description of the search algorithm in the documentation would even be better;-)

I'm in an corporate environment. A JRE is expected to be installed on every machine, but of course you always have same cases where it is missing. Ideally I would like to have my launcher look for a suitable JRE in the following order:
1. If the Installation included an JRE use that one (supported via vm.location)
2. use the locally installed JRE (supported, but unclear where WinRun4J looks for it)
3. use one that is on a network share (slow but reliable, if network is down nobody can work anyway here)

I think there are usecases that demand a flexible search order and none of the
launchers I am aware of (exe4J, launch4j, jSmooth) supports that. Maby WinRun4J does?

Regards,
Ringo

RCEDIT.exe vs. RCEDIT64.exe again

Björn Kautler — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 01:57:31 -0000

I'm sorry I have to ask this again, but what is the difference between RCEDIT.exe and RCEDIT64.exe?
In 2870508 you wrote the RCEDIT64.exe has to be used for the WinRun4J64.exe and WinRun4J64c.exe files.
But I used RCEDIT.exe and all seems to be well.
How would it show that it doesn't work?
Can the RCEDIT64.exe also be used on a 32bit machine doing the build process?

ini file relative to launcher dir

Björn Kautler — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 01:45:32 -0000

How can I specify an INI filename relative to the launcher?
If I specify a relative path it is relative to the working directory and I don't want to set the laucher dir as working dir.

Documentation for RCEDIT

What is the difference between RCEDIT and RCEDIT64?

What does /H do, or rather, what is the embedded HTML for?

What does /A do, or rather, how can I access further icons from the Java program? Accessing resources within Java is easy and platform-independent, what would be the advantages of a Windows specific solution?
