The swExplorerLauncher is a utility application included in the swExplorer client that manages references to SystemWeaver objects according to the "swap" URL protocol. It enables users to click on a URL link to an item or issue and have the item or issue open in swExplorer regardless of whether or not swExplorer is open at the time on the machine.
