Direct Known Subclasses:

Launcher

public class Launcher

extends java.lang.Object

Command-line invokable application launcher.

This launcher class assists in the creation of classloaders and ClassRealms from a configuration file and the launching of the application's main method from the correct class loaded through the correct classloader.

The path to the configuration file is specified using the classworlds.conf system property, typically specified using the -D switch to java.
