This method provides a generic loader. It first updates the classpath with all the jars in $KEPLER/lib/jar, and then uses reflection to invoke the method. NOTE: the method must be static.

Throws:

IllegalActionException

load

public static void load(java.lang.String className,
                        java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws IllegalActionException

Load classes and invoke "main" method.

Throws:

IllegalActionException

initialize

public static void initialize()
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Perform initialization.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

shutdown

public static void shutdown()

Perform module cleanup.

getForceOpen

public static boolean getForceOpen()

Returns true if -force was specified on the command line.

getRunWithGUI

public static boolean getRunWithGUI()

Returns true if -nogui was specified on the command line.

setJavaPropertiesAndCopyModuleDirectories

public static void setJavaPropertiesAndCopyModuleDirectories()
                                                      throws java.net.URISyntaxException,

Set Kepler java properties and copy the module directories into KeplerData/.

Throws:

java.net.URISyntaxException

java.io.IOException

setRunApplication

public static void setRunApplication(java.lang.String className,
