Re: [udig-devel] A second Release candidate
|
Well, I don't know a whole lot about Java (and that's pretty old what
I do know). I may be able to figure out some Mac OS X Java app
packaging stuff if I can focus on it enough (I'm a bit overloaded
right now).
I did look a bit at Apple's Java developer docs just now (trying to
figure out if there was a simple way to get it running with the RC
release udig I have). It looks like the Main class, ClassPath,
working directory, java command arguments, -D options, and VM options
can all be specified in the Info.plist of the udig.app package. With
that and the default JAVAROOT inside the package I might be able to
mash this into something that works.
I have another Mac OS X Java application that I use a lot that I can
use as an example (Azureus bittorent client).
One thing that worries me is the eclipse startup.jar - is that where
main would be, or is that Eclipse's way of accomplishing the same as
Apple's Info.plist?
Where does JAVA_HOME come into this (if at all)? Or it may be taken
care of by the Java version setting of the Info.plist.

William,
Is there any chance you could volunteer to help with OS/X
packaging? Our in-house staff don't have a Mac handy to do that
kind of work on, so it will be hard to do a release cleanly.
Basically I think we'll need all the supporting files and a
cookbook on how to stuff things into the right places. Done right,
it could be very swish.
