Allow restart plugin to restart via the CL in Windows

[rickmastfan67]

Is it possible to allow the restart plugin to restart JOSM via the CL in Windows?

I currently start JOSM with this command: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx3072M -jar josm-tested.jar. If I were to attempt to use the restart plugin to restart JOSM, it then bypasses the original way that I started JOSM and directly loads the *.jar file for JOSM. Because of that, I don't get the Command Line Window that shows up telling me what JOSM has done and any conflicts (like with shortcuts) that happen.

Is there anyway that you might be able to change this behavior on Windows? I mean, if I started the *.jar file directly and then used the restart command, I would expect it just restart the jar file. But if I use the CL way, I expect the restart to be with the CL, not the jar directly.

Thanks.

Only work around I see, is to add a script josm.exe in a path with higher priority. This script should start cmd and execute your starting command.
