If you use Java Web Start to launch Jalview, you can start up Jalview with a specific file by typing: javaws http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp -open yourFileName If you install with InstallAnywhere you can use several more commands. However, if you call the application with the link provided by InstallAnywhere any output from the application will be sent to output.txt, not standard out. Extra libraries are necessary to run Jalview 2+ compared to version 1+, so you must start the application with the following command: java -Djava.ext.dirs=$INSTALL_DIR$/lib -cp $INSTALL_DIR$/jalview.jar jalview.bin.
