      Description

      For command line use.

      In the appdir (on Windows and Linux this is the installation folder) is a bin folder with the command line launch scripts:
      jalview.sh
      jalview.bat
      jalview.ps1
      (and also the update scripts, update.sh etc).

      In linux a symbolic link is made from somewhere appropriate to jalview.sh. The symbolic link could be jalview, jalview_develop, etc.
      The symbolic link to update.sh is named update_jalview, update_jalview_develop etc.
      In macOS, similarly named symbolic links are made in JalviewX.app/Contents/MacOS and for a system install this path is put in a file in /etc/paths.d.

      In Windows, there are no symbolic links and the PATH for the user or system is adjusted by Install4j to add the appdir/bin folder.
      So that "jalview_develop" etc is available a copy of jalview.bat and jalview.ps1 to jalview_develop.bat and jalview_develop.ps1 is made (and also the update.bat and update.ps1).

      These copies are made at install time, and are not updated in getdown.
      They could be in the future.
