[kepler-dev] Urgent help needed for Kepler 1.x installer

[David Welker]

Hi Madhu,

That is how it works across all platforms. You can either use java -jar 
or double-click on the jar, whichever you like.

There is one caveat you should know. The command-line output is not the 
same. Depending on demand, I will remedy this situation in the future.
