Double click on the jar = open UI

[Benjamin Cordes]

double clicking the jar should open the UI with a default config.

CLI run should be kept as is.

[Benjamin Cordes]

not too sure on this. don't we just want to leave the CLI command and add the runui flag? Because the default config is not very helpful. So the user would have to define a new config in any case, and that might be confusing.

I believe that we clarified and agreed on hipchat that we do want both things to be true

I am exploring an alternative way of achieving this.

Along with the NuBot.jar, distribute another executables (NuBotUI) which does nothing but calling

java - jar NuBot.jar UI=true 

*not sure about the syntax, but you get the concept

Update :

executing launch.jar with double click will prompt the user and ask "Do you want to load an existing config?" case a) the user selects a file [/path/to/config.json]  . then it will launch this CLI line

$ java -jar NuBot.jar /path/to/config.json --ui=true

case b) the user select no file . then it will launch this CLI line

$ java -jar NuBot.jar config.json --ui=true

config.json being the default empty file seemless for the user, tbd

Adapted to new Syntax

java - jar NuBot -cfg=<pathTo/options.json> -GUI

where <pathTo/options.json>, is defined in Settings.DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILENAME in case the user doesn't select it
