[Launcher] release 1.0

[Dirk Verbeeck <di...@pandora.be>]

Launcher was imported into jakarta commons almost 2 years ago (25 okt 
2002) but never had a release. The thing missing was a simple example 
to get new users started.
Alban Peignier contributed this example, I added it to CVS.

So we're ready to release IMHO.
The site is build using maven, the component (and example) is build 
using an ant build.
dev-build can be found here:
http://cvs.apache.org/~dirkv/builds/

Unless somebody see a mayor problem I would like to start the release 
process for launcher, lets say release target date in 3 weeks.

Is this enough review time for everybody?
I'm especially looking at the tomcat team as they are the main users.
Other RC testers are also invited of cource...

(please reply to common-dev)

Actually the startup-using-launcher tomcat script are much smaller 
then the other original ones:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/bin/startup-using-launcher.sh?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.1

Yes, VM paramers are fulle supported
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/launcher/src/bin/launcher.xml?rev=1.1.1.1&view=auto

Create a set of (conditionally) JVM arguments
   <jvmargset id="base.jvm.args">
     <jvmarg value="-sourcepath" if="jdb"/>
     <jvmarg path="${app.home}/../src/java" if="jdb"/>
     <jvmarg value="-Xdebug" if="jpda.settings"/>
     <jvmarg value="-Xrunjdwp:${jpda.settings}" if="jpda.settings"/>
   </jvmargset>

and refer it from the launch command
   <jvmargset refid="base.jvm.args"/>

Just as flexible as you would expect :-)

This looks kind of interesting.  But, why catalina.sh is (the tomcat 
startup script) is still 4 pages long?   I would hope you could reduce 
the size, ideally down to a single line.  On a related note, does the 
launch tool provide assistance with the user passing command line 
parameters to the JVM, such as setting JVM memory size, etc.?
