Headless mode #56

Closed imario42 closed 7 years ago

imario42 commented 7 years ago

I thought about using your fxlauncher not just for FX stuff, but also for plain java installations. e.g. running headless as windows service. Having a headless mode of fxlauncher could also allow such a java service update itself.

In fact, I have it already running on my machine, but it requires some additional efforts to avoid code duplications.

I thought about refactoring Launcher into

Because this leads to a bigger pull request I wanted to ask if you are interested in such a thing at all - or is this out of scope of your library?

I've been thinking about headless mode myself, this would be a very welcome feature indeed! I think your approach seems reasonable, so please go ahead :)

I'll close this issue since the PR is already merged :)
