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 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 quest-runner.jar
  

• Start the application with the SWT GUI and the trace level INFO

  java -jar quest-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 quest-runner.jar -ui swt "exec someScript"
