Class Launcher

java.lang.Object

org.openpatch.scratch.Launcher

public final class Launcher
extends Object

Starts a program so that its window runs on the process's first thread, which macOS requires (with -XstartOnFirstThread); the program's main runs on a second thread. Studio starts every run and every exported game this way; a plain java run does not need it.

java -XstartOnFirstThread -cp game.jar org.openpatch.scratch.Launcher MyGame
