Hi Edgar
Nothing really precise yet. But let's work on that.
Let us leave asside the bin folder retirement and focus on configurable
cross-platform OJ launching. Essentially I currently have two models in mind:
A) script model
TODO
- new user-friendly script names (oj_win.bat,oj_linux.sh,oj_mac.command)
- adding a mac script which essentially calls the linux shell script (see
attachement, it's tested on OSX 10.4&10.6 should I put it in the svn?)
Ya, I think it would be nice. I think we can get help from Giuseppe for
testing and configuring.
- rework windows batch to be one file only again (less files for the user to
wonder about)
Do you mean to remove lcp.bat ? I think new java version now understand
*.jar for the classpath definition (but maybe only from java 6 or even
java 6.xx).
PRO
- virtually no work but more convenience for inexperienced users
CONTRA
- no generic configuration that works on every plattform
OK, I think it's enough at the moment.

PS : you probably know IzPack launcher which is used by many OpenSource
projects.
PS2 : I use thunderbird 3.1.2, I don't remember which version I used
before but I think I had not every opened message in a new tab (which is
probably configurable)
B) unified launcher model
TODO
- create a java launcher that reads a generic ini file with oj and java runtime
configuration (candidate is org.apache.launcher)
- native launchers to be created for windows, mac, linux that start the java
launcher (use winrun4j or launch4j for windows)
PRO
- generic configuration
- convenient launchers with icons, that work without shell
CONTRA
- truck load of work
- functionality is the same as the scripts, just slicker
I suggest to implement A for now and target B on a longer schedule. I will
check org.apache.launcher in the near future, but just re-prioritized my
projects and will do it probably in two weeks earliest.
regards ede
