Note that this is only a *basic* implementation to allow for the changes on the SE side. A follow-up issue has been filed to track implementing the full launcher feature set.

I propose adding a new method to com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl something like the following: public static void launchApplication(final String jarPath, final String mainClass, final String[] args) With the following expected behavior: - if jarPath is specified then the Jar is loaded, processed and launched by LauncherImpl directly - else if mainClass is specified then that class is loaded (if not already) and started, similar to the existing launchApplication methods - In the case where both are provided, whether mainClass is honored or not is up for discussion but the intent of the Java launcher is that only one argument will be provided, the other will be null
