How to Automate running applications using WindowTester API?

[eliasbalasis]

Need to run WindowTester recordings NOT as tests but as real applications

Here is the real case
I have a 3rd party java application which I want to integrate with my application.
The 3rd party application is a bridge to a service platform.
The 3rd party application, through some API and socket connection, exposes the service platform's functions, requires user/password to login to service platform but expects the input from user.
My application, needs to start the 3rd party application's main class and using WindowTester API pass the username/password
My application's purpose is to silently connect to the service platform and expose its functions to front-end (UI either standalone or Web-based)

Is this possible? How?

Is there a way to pass the username/password to the application using vmargs? If so that would be the way to go.

Unfortunately not. There is no way to pass the username/password as command line args.

I was hoping for some kind of automation. WindowTester did the trick but running under JUnit tester not as a real app.

I thought of building some kind of custom JUnit tester with application specific logic inside that would run the WindowTester scenario but behave as a real app instead (no timeout etc.)

Any ideas?

Could you elaborate on your scenario so that we can have a better understanding of what you are looking for?
