Hey everyone. In my quest to work on my own app, I did some changes to the Launcher that I'd like to share. Head over to the SourceForge folder I put my changes in. The readme file there explains the changes I made and what files they affect. I hope this gets the launcher one step closer to being ready for when the OpenJDK becomes official. Thanks again gluxon for the work in packaging the OpenJDK.
Thanks for hearing me out, and please post any feedback below. If there's something I missed, I want to know so I can learn from my mistakes.

Do you have any experience with Mercurial? That would make reviewing and incorporating these changes a lot easier.

I have not used a versioning system ever actually. This may sound stupid, but I didn't think my changes were probably correct enough to even consider it. That being said, is there a page somewhere that explains how to do it?
Start here.
(I may edit this comment later to add information).

Thanks for the info on that. I think I get the gist of it and I would like to give it a shot at adding files / committing a change. I'm assuming this would be done through SourceForge in some way...
How about Git and GitHub instead?
...that the Launcher code is hosted via Mercurial on SourceForge, so it's the easiest way to commit the code. I was able to figure it out (as well as gain early support for .NET) by using the proper hg commands. I only ended up committing the JDK changes and not the .tmp file changes (that I made for MiKTeX [as seen on the page linked in the post]).
