Agreed. I had been toying with this when looking at snapshot issues. I think we need one program that exec()s itself into ../jre/bin/$NAME, which hopefully is just the tweaked launcher we have now and use that to fill in jdk/bin. Maybe that can be the launcher too, but I think the launcher has achieved optimum complexity for what it's supposed to do :) geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
