[Wrapper-user] Greed takes down the community version of Win x64

[Boris H. <bs...@gm...>]

This wrapper software was recommended to me by Codehouse Jetty documentation. I read all the help and decided to download it. What was my surprise (very unpleasant one) when I discovered that my server configuration is missing from the community version!  Windows x86 64 bit! The authors were taken by greed and decided that they will charge almost 90 euro for that wrapper (at minimum).  So people with Windows x64 have more money to waste is that it? I was so pissed off! I will never pay  a single cent for this software! I easily solved my simple need (to start my server on system startup) with Windows task scheduler. For less time that took me to read the Java Service Wrapper docs, I might add. Here is my scheduler task exported as an XML. You can import it and use it in any version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.  FREE OF CHARGE! I will also post this on my blog and notify Codehouse to stop recommending that software.
