Currently I am starting my Slick 2D application via this batch file-

java -Djava.library.path=lib -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar myapp.jar %1
Where lib is the folder that contains the LWJGL/Slick libraries and myapp.jar is my application.

Although this is easy and effective I want to be able not to have to run a script all the time and actually create a java .jar to do this.

So my question is, how would I 'convert' this batch script into Java code?

If anyone knows of the Java game called Minecraft (you should, it is awesome) I would like to create a launcher similar to this.

Part of what's being done here is giving memory settings to the JVM, telling the JVM that it's opening a jar, etc. You're probably better off leaving it alone.

So is there an equivalent to

java -Djava.library.path=lib -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar myapp.jar %1

in Java?

Well, with Java you can access the commandwindow basicly, by using the Runtime class and doing exec(string);
So I gues you could create a jar, which does only that, the jar will, or should start up myapp.jar. And then die so only myapp is running.
I just hope myapp will not die together with this other jar as it's created by it.
