  public class KickStart
  extends java.lang.Object

  Launches a process in an operating-system agnostic way. Helps us avoid idiosyncrasies in scripts for different platforms. Currently this only works for DevAppServerMain. Takes a command line invocation like:

   java -cp ../lib/appengine-tools-api.jar com.google.appengine.tools.KickStart \
     --jvm_flag="-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.props"
     com.google.appengine.tools.development.DevAppServerMain \
     --jvm_flag="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=7000"
     --address=localhost --port=5005 appDir
   

  and turns it into:

   java -cp <an_absolute_path>/lib/appengine-tools-api.jar \
     -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.props \
     -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=7000 \
     com.google.appengine.tools.development.DevAppServerMain \
     --address=localhost --port=5005 <an_absolute_path>/appDir
   

  while also setting its working directory (if appropriate).

  All arguments between com.google.appengine.tools.KickStart and com.google.appengine.tools.development.DevAppServerMain, as well as all --jvm_flag arguments after DevAppServerMain, are consumed by KickStart. The remaining options after DevAppServerMain are given as arguments to DevAppServerMain, without interpretation by KickStart. At present, the only valid option to KickStart itself is:

  --jvm_flag=<vm_arg>

  Passes <vm_arg> as a JVM argument for the child JVM. May be repeated.

  Additionally, if the --external_resource_dir argument is specified, we use it to set the working directory instead of the application war directory.
