The reasons for a unified java launcher would be

- java, which most contributors should understand
- one ini file for all architectures
- one routine to replace them all ;) (set classpath, build cmd line)

sounds worth it to me.

It doesn't seem like the windows launcher would be improved by calling a java

    true, I can check and modify the windows and linux scripts, if we agree on 
retiring '/bin'.

    And again I want to lobby for a one for all solution.Let me summarize:

    - we try to be 'cross-platform'
    - but can't support different distributions for each operating system
    - user must be able to change the java runtime parameters (e.g. memory 
settings)
    - runtime parameters cannot be changed inside the running environment, but 
have to be given as parameters

    Only solution I see is a unified launcher (java) run by native launchers 
for the different os's. I like the simplicity of startup scripts, but am pretty 
sure that end users are more confused than supported by them (which should i 
use, how can i configure ...).
