I want to remove specific awareness for the JVM from the CL program that launches my app ... I would like to just tell the user how to specify which JVM, if they don't want to use the default.

That's what we are doing now ... but I'm trying to get away from having the CL program having to know how to specify the various JVM's.

Plus, I don't know for sure what JVM's the customer has installed ... so the program would have to be able to check which ones are available and present the user with the available choices is just going to get more and more complex (as there are more choices).
