Costello is designed to be used on java code and doesn't care whether =20=

you have source or not.  If you need to set up an environment for =20
your VM, that same environment needs to be set up for Costello, since =20=

it runs your app in the same VM.

Most launch scripts just set some environment variables, classpath, =20
or pass flags to the VM.  Consider setting your classpath by using a =20
Class-Path attribute in your primary jar file manifest; if you also =20
set Main-Class, you can do java -jar myjar.jar and ditch the launch =20
script altogether.
