I was trying to use the command line interface as outlined in:
http://wiki.helioviewer.org/wiki/JHV_Command_Line_Interface
I was using the example command as specified in the wiki:
java -jar JHelioviewer.jar -jhv "[date=2003-10-05T00:00:00Z;imageScale=5000;imageLayers=[SOHO,EIT,EIT,171,1,100],[SOHO,LASCO,C2,white-light,1,100]]"
the result would be java always telling me that "-jhv" is an unrecognized option
so, I looked into it and the problem is located in JavaHelioViewerLauncher. the line, "commandLine.add(mainClass.getName());" should be moved from line 174 to line 168 (before the for-loop).
the difference in the launch code for me is:
java /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -cp build/JHelioviewer.jar:/Users/kenny/Projects/jhelioviewer/build/JHelioviewer.jar -Djava.library.path=/Users/kenny/JHelioviewer/Libs:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java -Djava.ext.dirs="" -Xdock:name=JHelioviewer -Xdock:icon=/Users/kenny/Projects/jhelioviewer/JHV_icon.icns -Xmx1024m -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true org.helioviewer.jhv.JavaHelioViewer -jhv [date=2003-10-05T00:00:00Z;imageScale=5000;imageLayers=[SOHO,EIT,EIT,171,1,100],[SOHO,LASCO,C2,white-light,1,100]]
vs. the incorrect:
java /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -cp build/JHelioviewer.jar:/Users/kenny/Projects/jhelioviewer/build/JHelioviewer.jar -Djava.library.path=/Users/kenny/JHelioviewer/Libs:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java -Djava.ext.dirs="" -Xdock:name=JHelioviewer -Xdock:icon=/Users/kenny/Projects/jhelioviewer/JHV_icon.icns -Xmx1024m -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -jhv [date=2003-10-05T00:00:00Z;imageScale=5000;imageLayers=[SOHO,EIT,EIT,171,1,100],[SOHO,LASCO,C2,white-light,1,100]] org.helioviewer.jhv.JavaHelioViewer
----------------
it's a simple enough fix, but I don't know how to do a pull request on launchpad, so I post the solution here as a bug report.
thanks!
