hi all,

i've been working on a new installer for openjump for a while now. the 
preliminary result will be available from now on in the snapshot folder
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/files/OpenJUMP_snapshots

there is and will be an installer for both editions CORE and PLUS. currently 
the installers are executable jar files (made with izpack), so if you have java 
properly installed you should be able to run them by doubleclicking the jar 
file. eventually the windows installer will get an exe packaging (probably with 
launch4j) but for testing the general functionality this is of minor importance.

the installer is tested on windows xp(32bit), 7(64bit) only currently.
i ask you to download an installer and run it on your platform. i didn't try 
linux and osx so far, but generally it should work there as well. problems 
might arise from missing executable permissions on start scripts there.

known issue:
achilles heel seems to be the uninstaller so far. when run as unprivileged user 
it fails to completely remove the app folder when the oj was installed as 
administrator. workaround seems to be to uninstall always from the 
programs/software in system settings/control panel.

so far, so good.. thanks ede
