Michael Vorburger commented on EXEC-64:
---------------------------------------

Thanks. [~sebb@apache.org] nice one how to still provide the cause using initCause() even on < 1.6!

> This didn't cause any real issues for me - I just came across it as I was browsing the Commons Exec source, in the context of implementing a launch helper (BTW: see https://github.com/vorburger/MariaDB4j/blob/master/src/main/java/ch/vorburger/exec/ManagedProcess.java - would that, once further cleaned-up, potentially be something of any interest to you for integration into Commons Exec?).
