Dear All,
I have done bit of additional research it would be good to get your
suggestions
The eclipse platform is out of the question since the platform is OS
depended.
I can use the Netbeans platform to create the wizard
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-wizard.html
+ Should be quick to do
- Will contain a lot of generated code
I could also use the following wizard framework
http://code.google.com/p/cjwizard/
Otherwise I can create it using the standing Swing API
Would there be any preferences or am I free to develop with whichever I
see fit?
Kind regards,
Jesal

Hi All,
Couple of additional questions:
1. Having looked through the Syncope configuration I assume the
best way to deploy to the containers would be to use the cargo api
which is already used for the testing and deploying to the various
containers through the maven build.
2. Would we like to also download the syncope base and console war
from the the internet as well so we are able to select which version
to install or is the assumption these are already downloaded and we
just have a point to there location from the app.
3. Both eclipse and netbeans have platforms on which to develop GUI
application, I have not used these before but is it worth
investigating or do we want to go down the swing root only?
Regards,
Jesal

Dear All,
Hoping to help contribute to the project. Setting up a mail on Dev
as recommended by Francesco
What should be the requirements for the GUI Installer SYNCOPE-143.
If we can specify the requirements, hopefully I can start
investigating what needs to be done to implement the functionality
with a lot of help from all you guys :)
Hi Jesal,
some thoughts about a GUI installer.
1. Java Swing application enabled to work on a running JEE container
for:
1a. configuring JNDI Datasource
1b. deploying Syncope webapps
Alternatively, one can think of two web installers instead (one for
core and one for console), already deployed on a running JEE container
2. Comes with "base" syncope.war and syncope-console.war
3. Lets select and install ConnId connector bundles from the Internet
This at first glance; any more thoughts?
Regards.
