CptChipJew-

Just to clarify, the call to java -jar RunLime.jar does not simply launch the ui -- it launches the entire java application, including all connection threads, TCP and UDP listening threads, etc. OS X has it's own custom method of launching java applications (launching java applications is basically os-specific because there are multiple ways of executing processes via aliases, shortcuts, exes, etc, on different operating systems). In LimeWire on OS X, we use the executable automatically generated by InstallAnywhere. On Windows, I wrote a custom executable to locate the latest java executable and run it.

Thanks.
