= Executor =

The executor is responsible for initializing the AutoQUEST user interfaces. This consists of the following key tasks:
 * Integrating all AutoQUEST components and plug-ins.
 * Starting a user interface.
 * Initialize logging mechanisms.

The executor itself is implemented as a Java application with the following possible parameters.

||= Name =||= Allowed Values =||= Default =||= Description =||
|| ui || text, swt || text || Selects the user interface ||
|| log4j || OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, ALL || INFO || Selects the tracing level contained in the log4j log file ||
|| trace || OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, ALL || WARNING || Selects the tracing level displayed by the user interface ||

Furthermore, all parameters that follow these options are interpreted as [wiki:Frontend/Commands commands] that are to be executed right after starting the user interface.

Here are some examples for using the executor.
 * Start the application with all parameters assuming their default values.
{{{
java -jar autoquest-runner.jar
}}}
 * Start the application with the SWT GUI and the trace level INFO
{{{
java -jar autoquest-runner.jar -ui swt -trace INFO
}}}
 * Start the application with the SWT GUI and execute the command "exec someScript" right after the start-up.
{{{
java -jar autoquest-runner.jar -ui swt "exec someScript"
}}}
