public class Main
extends java.lang.Object

Main start class. This class is intended to be the main class listed in the MANIFEST.MF of the start.jar archive. It allows an application to be started with the command "java -jar start.jar". The behaviour of Main is controlled by the "org/mortbay/start/start.config" file obtained as a resource. The format of each line is this file is:

  SUBJECT [ [!] CONDITION [AND|OR] ]*
 
where SUBJECT:
 
   ends with ".class" is the Main class to run.
   ends with ".xml" is a configuration file for the command line
   ends with "/" is a directory from which add all jar and zip files from. 
   ends with "/*" is a directory from which add all unconsidered jar and zip files from.
   Containing = are used to assign system properties.
   all other subjects are treated as files to be added to the classpath.
 
Subjects may include system properties with $(propertyname) syntax. File subjects starting with "/" are considered absolute, all others are relative to the home directory.

CONDITION is one of:

   always
   never
   available package.class
   java OPERATOR n.n
   nargs OPERATOR n
   OPERATOR := one of "<",">","<=",">=","==","!="
 
CONTITIONS can be combined with AND OR or !, with AND being the assume operator for a list of CONDITIONS. Classpath operations are evaluated on the fly, so once a class or jar is added to the classpath, subsequent available conditions will see that class.
