BeastLauncher

A flexible, generic launcher for BEAST2-based applications that ensures proper package initialization.

Overview

BeastLauncher extends the standard BEAST2 launcher to provide a configurable entry point for running any BEAST2-based application. It ensures proper initialization of the BEAST2 environment, including package management, before launching the specified main class.

The main benefits are:

  • Proper initialization of BEAST2 packages
  • Setting of important environment variables and system properties
  • Configurable main class through command-line arguments
  • Seamless integration with the BEAST2 ecosystem

Usage

Basic Usage

./beast-generic --main your.package.MainClass [other args]

If no main class is specified, it defaults to the standard BEAST2 main class (beastfx.app.beast.BeastMain).

Example: Running Beast2Lang

./beast-generic --main org.beast2.modelLanguage.Beast2Lang -i model.b2l -o model.xml

Example: Running Standard BEAST2

./beast-generic input.xml
