Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-840:
----------------------------------
Sandro is correct. This is a documentation issue, not a bug.
FYI, any Pivot application can be launched either as an applet or a desktop
application. The easiest way to make an application desktop-launchable is by
adding the following method:
public static void main(String[] args) {
DesktopApplicationContext.main(<your application class>.class, args);
}
Many of the sample applications provided with the platform do this.

> Key: PIVOT-840
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-840
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: demos, tutorials
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1
> Environment: All Environments
> Reporter: Robert Brown III
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: application, bxml, demos, documentation, tutorials
> Fix For: 2.0.2
>
>
> All demos and documentation emphasize the use of BXML for specifying the user
> interface.
> All demos are implemented as applets where the system is apparently able to
> "find" the BXML file that it needs to create the UI.
> Unfortunately, when anyone attempts to use BXML in an actual desktop
> application, using the proper "ScriptApplication" class and setting the "src"
> property, the application keeps generating an error saying that it "cannot
> find" the BXML file.
> There are no instructions anywhere in the documentation about deploying a
> BXML file with a Pivot application. There is nothing saying where the file
> should be, how to get the ScriptApplication to find it, or any demos showing
> how to deploy a desktop application in general. There are no real
> instructions even for deploying BXML- based Applets!
> This is a "show- stopper" making Pivot's BXML mechanism unusable for most
> applications, in particular desktops.
> If people are to use BXML for most applications, some deployment instructions
> are seriously needed...
