Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-6783:
----------------------------------------
* for the port, I mean to make it more obvious at 1st glance, but that's not a biggie
* got it for adaptStartupCommandsToLoaderArgs, I saw the TODO indeed
* agreed about the *FATAL* issue (note that it's also with tests)
* the POS was wrote hastily by Andrew in 2004. He did the fast way... for a customer who never used it... I took it over but never had enough time to rewrite it all right, at least it works right. After discovering I could not build a business on it, I gave up. But it's there and people are using it.

> Looking at the main method and design of Start.java and the start component overall looks ugly. The things I would like to fix so far are:
> - the files are too long
> - some variables are not even needed (loaderArgs?)
> - the level of abstraction is wrong
> - main throws an exception!
> - the arguments processing logic is terrible, need to move it to commons-cli
> It's just so messy and ugly to look at. So for me refactoring starts at Start! Given that this is an important component, I will provide a patch to be reviewed by the community before committing just to be on the safe side.
