[ImageJ-devel] Launcher for another program

Hi Grant,

I Cc:ed the imagej-devel list which would have possibly responded to your
mail during my absence.

Certainly, I do that quite often myself.

It does interpret the ImageJ.cfg files but ignores the main class because
we need to override that for Fiji (ImageJ 1.x has the main class
ij.ImageJ, Fiji needs to override a couple of things and therefore calls
that class from fiji.Main).

But you should be able to run .cmd scripts without opening a console
window... you're the Windows expert, so you do not need me to tell you how
;-)

Ciao,
