ma-bootstrap.jar
The ma-bootstrap.jar is used to start up Mango, automatically configuring the classpath. It can either start Mango from the same java process or fork a new process.
-
It is used by the Windows mango.cmd script and the Windows service (via WinSW). It can also be used to directly launch Mango by double clicking the jar file. This should work on Windows/OSX/Linux.
-
The downside of launching Mango this way is that it doesn't display the console output and its not easy to then stop Mango.You have to open a process manager and terminate the java process.
-
With the default configuration, Mango will open a browser window.
-
It is a good way to evaluate Mango, but should not be used for production as Mango will not restart if the process exits.
-
Running Mango under systemd (Linux) or WinSW (Windows) is recommended for using Mango in production as these will restart the process if it crashes or exits due to a Mango restart from the UI.
