Class Launcher

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.taverna.raven.launcher.Launcher

public class Launcher
extends java.lang.Object

Launcher called by the PreLauncher after making sure Raven etc. is on the classpath.

The Launcher will find the Raven LocalRepository through ApplicationRuntime.getRavenRepository(). It then initialises the PluginManager so that it can use the SpiRegistry of Launchables to find the instance of the class named by ApplicationConfig.APP_MAIN in the raven-launcher.properties. The Launchable.launch(String[]) method is then executed.
