The great thing about a mailing list is that someone can correct me if I am
wrong, but, I believe that the ImageJ launcher for windows requires the cfg
file to be both in the same directory as the .exe and have the same name.
I believe it to be based on the Marner laucher. Fortunately, there is nothing
special or unique about this system, it's just the one Wayne distributes by
default. You could setup ImageJ to lauch using a direct java command line
call - essentially all the guff in the .cfg file. Alternatively you could
use another windows java launcher such as
http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/or
http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/.
Hoping this is both factual and useful.
