EarthSci fails to launch when an instance is open #126

Open

When one opens EarthSci, then opens EarthSci again, nothing happens.

Apparently this is because, like Eclipse, if a lock file is present, then it wont open. However, none of this is reported to the user.

Something should happen when the user tries to run the application. Options are:

Open a new instance/window
Bring the existing window to the foreground with a notification
notify the user of an error opening the new instance, and exit

If the new window was called with a specific catalog (through a jnlp), another option would be to:

add the catalog to the existing instance and give the old instance the focus
