Why does the director spin off in the background? [message #125133] Mon, 26 January 2009 14:31 Go to next message

When I run the director app from the command line on Windows, it shows
the splash screen, but immediately returns control to the DOS prompt.

As such, I have no way to know when the operation is complete, unless I
leave the splash screen in focus until it goes away.

What is the reasoning behind this? Is there a way to run it "modal"?

Cheers

that's how eclipse.exe works - it chooses usually jvm.dll or javaw.exe
rather than java.exe and they work like that.

try using eclipsec.exe and make sure there's no -vm args in eclipse.ini

Thanks. Related to that, I found this wiki page, which was helpful.
