Java Command Line Launchers

I am working on a .jar file library to implement a bunch of helper classes for interacting with a piece of PC external hardware. I will also add some simple applications, both command line and GUI, to handle common tasks using the library.

My question is, is there a recommended way to simplify a JVM command line instance in a certain way?

eg. instead of requiring the user to enter a critical error, for example:

java -cp TurboBlenderLib.jar -jar TurboBlenderApp.jar -DFoo=Bar arg1 arg2

instead i do

TurboBlenderApp arg1 arg2

?

I suppose I could use shell scripts (including win32 batch files ... gacckkk), it's just that I am not good at these +. I was wondering if there was a simpler platform-independent way to launch a Java application from the command line.

The batch file will complete the task. Place the exact command you want to execute in the myProg.bat file and run it.

This is pretty easy:

Write this in TurboBlenderApp.cmd:

java -cp TurboBlenderLib.jar -jar TurboBlenderApp.jar -DFoo=Bar %1 %2

// Keep in mind saua answer about -cp and -jar

Then from the command line you simply write:

TurboBlenderApp arg1 arg2

Just the way you wanted.

If on Unix / Linux replace th4e% 1% 2 with $ 1 $ 2 and make sure your application has execute rights (if you don’t know how to do this, I think you don’t need it either)
