Description _ theanuradha 2006-11-24 11:47:06 UTC 
Restating Application is common task

org.openide.LifecycleManager must have public abstract void restart()
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-11-24 21:01:43 UTC 
Not sure if we want to support this. Ability to restart an app is very dependent
on details of the launcher. For example, it is probably impossible in JNLP mode.

The Auto Update module triggers restart in the launcher when it has updates
ready; this is basically special-cased in the launcher since it cannot be
handled while the app runs.

What is the intended use case?
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2008-11-10 22:25:04 UTC 
No known use cases, no current plans.
