Hello All,

 

I also looked at the code for JavaLauncher and decided to take a few minutes
to re-write/fix the application ;-)  Since I don't have a C compiler for
windows based apps, I used Pascal (Delphi) to code (source is included).
The resulting app is now 80% smaller and works exactly the same - well,
except that it now handles file associations correctly :-) I do not
experience the load-delay problem mentioned by Hugo Gratama van Andel, but
this could be an unrelated thing in his case.

 

A compiled version of the new ImageJ launcher app is available here:

 

http://www.brokensymmetry.com/files/imagejwinstub.zip

 

Inside the zip you will find the compiled exe, a readme file and the source.
I kept the program compatible with the ".CFG" format, although if people are
interested in having the program more "windows friendly", just let me know
("windows friendly" = using the registry for finding the JVM, etc).

 

Comments and suggestions welcome - give it a try and let me (and this
mailing list) know how things work!

 

Wayne - feel free to include this in the official ImageJ install.  As
mentioned, I can add features if needed.

 

Cheers,

George.---
