JavaProcessBuilder

Java comes with java.lang.ProcessBuilder to make process creation easier;
Similarly JLibs comes with jlibs.core.lang.JavaProcessBuilder to make java process creation easier;

JavaProcessBuilder simply manages collection of java process attributes and help your to create command out of it.

JavaProcessBuilder jvm = new JavaProcessBuilder();

JavaProcessBuilder is preconfigured with current java home and current working directory initialy.
you can change them as below:

jvm.javaHome(new File("c:/jdk5")); // to configure java home

jvm.workingDir(new File("c:/myProject")); // to configure working directory

to configure various attributes:

// to configure classpath

jvm.classpath("lib/jlibs-core.jar") // relative path from configured working dir

   .classpath(new File("c:/myproject/lib/jlibs-xml.jar");



// to get configured classpath

List<File> classpath = jvm.classpath();



// to configure additional classpath

jvm.endorsedDir("lib/endorsed")

   .extDir("lib/ext")

   .libraryPath("lib/native")

   .bootClasspath("lib/boot/xerces.jar")

   .appendBootClasspath("lib/boot/xalan.jar")

   .prependBootClasspath("lib/boot/dom.jar");



// to configure System Properties

jvm.systemProperty("myprop", "myvalue")

   .systemProperty("myflag");



// to configure heap and vmtype

jvm.initialHeap(512); // or jvm.initialHeap("512m");

jvm.maxHeap(1024); // or jvm.maxHeap("1024m");

jvm.client(); // to use -client

jvm.server(); // to use -server



// to configure remote debugging

jvm.debugPort(7000)

   .debugSuspend(true);



// to configure any additional jvm args

jvm.jvmArg("-Xgc:somealgo");



// to configure mainclass and its arguments

jvm.mainClass("example.MyTest")

   .arg("-xvf")

   .arg("testDir");



// to get the created command:

String command[] = jvm.command();



// to launch it

Process p = jvm.launch(system.out, System.err);

the two arguments to launch specify to which process output and error streams to be redirected.
These arguments can be null.
