            Bug ID: 1253
           Summary: Clean up the launcher script for *nix
           Product: ImageJ
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Launcher
          Assignee: imagej-bugs at imagej.net
          Reporter: ipatrol6010 at yahoo.com

I've discovered in attempting to debug ImageJ just how contorted the launcher
script is for the platform. It's fragile, hard-to-read, cluttered, highly
dependent on a particular system configuration, and relies on a menagerie of
external processes to work.

I think this is probably a good example of what *not* to use a shell script
for. I'm thinking of rewriting it in Python, since it's practically standard on
*nix platforms, and can do all of this a lot more intelligently.

I'm going to go ahead on that if there are no objections.
