Hi,

First: Everything I've seen so far is great! Thanks a lot.

Now my suggestion. My application (a backgammon programm) benefits a lot, when I can use the -server option. For reasons I don't understand, java doesn't falls back gracefully to the default VM but it complains and doesn't work at all. This makes -server not a good option to use if you want to provide an update without integrated JRE.

So it would be great to have either:
explicit Option "use server VM if available" or an Option "use this option only in JDKs" with another Option "prefer JDK" would be useful in this context too.

I guess quite some people will benefit from "-server".

ciao
Frank

  Hi,
  
  the fail-safe server option may be useful indeed, I'll include it.
