Hi,

Are jar and exe both for installation ?

I would insist on the CORE distribution, but similar distribution for 
CORE and PLUS seems fair to me :-)

Re: [JPP-Devel] new installer prototype, call for testers

2012-01-20 Thread Rahkonen Jukka
Hi,

Both installations were successful with Windows XP with admin rights. With our 
normal user rights installers stop in phase 5/6 without giving warnings.

After installation CORE started in 12 seconds. PLUS took one minute longer and 
probably because of the Vertex Symbols plugin.

 Aihe: [JPP-Devel] new installer prototype, call for testers
 
 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

 Hei Ede,
 
 so, I tested on my MacOSX at home and it works very well.
 
 The only issue was that the splash screen image was standing on its 
 side.. but I guess that's the same for the other OS?

you mean in the installer panels? that's art ;) a designing judgement call

 
 And well, two things that is also uncommon for Mac is that
 a) you need to double click on the jar file to start it (I guess we need 
 to write that somewhere - normally you download a dmg file, but I 
 haven't read yet what it actually is - guess some better zip file). and

i currently don't intend to go this extra mile. doubleclicking seems to work 
fine and osx install java automagically if missing.

 b) you need to provide your password for the installation. Though this 
 seems to allow the installation right into the applications folder, 
 while normally you need to drag an icon from the (unpacked) dmg folder 
 to your app folder

i reverted that. now the app lands on the desktop. the installer does not ask 
where to put it anymore, macstyle.

 
 However, both things are minor and could be resolved with proper 
 documentation.

i guess we should promote the installers once they are released. i intend to 
create

Install_OJ*.jar (all platforms)
Install_OJ*.exe (windows)

and we'll still have 

OJ*.zip (all platform zip)

taking into account that we will have two editions this will amount to 6 files.

 could you elaborate?

 but anyway, thanks Ede for automatizing all the processes, something I

 no problem. btw check the installer for mac. it now repackages oj into an

 By the way, the batch file became sooo complex !
 Wonder if we can simplify it or break it into several pieces.
 Example :

 Not sure it would make it more simple though.

Hi Ede,
very nice installer. I gave a try right now.

The installer works fine with Ubuntu. The software is correctly installed.
There are three problems:
- oj_linux.sh is not set to executable. So users cannot launch OpenJUMP until 
they manually set the launcher script to executable
- OpenJUMP folder Icon is not installed on toolbar.

- OpenJUMP launcher Icon is not installed on toolbar. While unistaller icon is 
correctly installed.

Unistaller works fine

Hi Ede,

Izpack installer looks very nice :o)
I like it !

However, I did not succeed in launching jump after installation :-(
After many tries, I found this is the batch again, not the installer.
There is a problem with parenthesis now. You know :
C:\Program Files (x86)
the directory where x86 application are installed on 64 bits OS.

By the way, the batch file became sooo complex !
Wonder if we can simplify it or break it into several pieces.
Example :

 There is a problem with parenthesis now. You know :
 C:\Program Files (x86)
 the directory where x86 application are installed on 64 bits OS.

there were some quotes missing.. luckily we have the dequote routine now so we 
can actually use variables with special chars in them now

 By the way, the batch file became sooo complex !
 Wonder if we can simplify it or break it into several pieces.
 Example :
 - setting java_home
 - setting java options
 - setting classpath and native path
 - setting jump options
 Not sure it would make it more simple though.

i don't see the advantage. half of the file is comments to help people 
understand what's going on, we could delete them ;).. but seriously, most of 
the new code could be done in java. 
A) it's logic to place the log and state in userhome/.openjump if the oj_home 
is not writeable (on linux at least that's the idea or defined manually. 
B) it's the computation of the path for native libs

you can implement it in java and i remove it from the start scripts, ok? :)

 PS what is the logic behind
 if DEFINED ProgramFiles(x86)

see http://ss64.com/nt/if.html
defined checks if the var is empty meaning  ... this makes checking for 
unset/empty variables easier as it wont choke on accidental quotes in the 
variable's value

what's it for? read on..

 Who would have defined such a variable if it is not defined in the batch ?

the env var 'ProgramFiles(x86)' is a way to 'detect' x64 windows versions since 
they exist. all of them define it. open cmd and 'echo %ProgramFiles(x86)%' on a 
x64 windows.

 Is it equivalent to
 If EXIST Program Files (x86)
 

NO. EXIST checks for an existing file/folder.. DEFINED checks if a variable 
value is not empty.

..ede

PS: if i'd know a better way to startup java on the current windows platforms 
i'd use it. problem is that the binary launchers are all not flexible enough.

 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

yeah .. I agree, we should introduce sections.
If we need to tell the user where to change what settings, s/he is not 
going to find the arguments anymore ;)

just had something like that last week

but anyway, thanks Ede for automatizing all the processes, something I

 There is a problem with parenthesis now. You know :
 C:\Program Files (x86)
 the directory where x86 application are installed on 64 bits OS.

 By the way, the batch file became sooo complex !
 Wonder if we can simplify it or break it into several pieces.
 Example :
 - setting java_home
 - setting java options
 - setting classpath and native path
 - setting jump options
 Not sure it would make it more simple though.

 Is it equivalent to

actually,

I am not talking about moving functionality, but introducing visual 
separators.
Maybe section headers?

  but at the end its just my 2 cents

 Hi Ede,
 very nice installer. I gave a try right now.

the first, as usual ;)

 The installer works fine with Ubuntu. The software is correctly installed.
 There are three problems:
 - oj_linux.sh is not set to executable. So users cannot launch OpenJUMP 
 until they manually set the launcher script to executable

should be fixed

 - OpenJUMP folder Icon is not installed on toolbar.
 - OpenJUMP launcher Icon is not installed on toolbar. While unistaller icon 
 is correctly installed.

should be fixed although it seems that you have to logon/off to have the icon 
have displayed on the desktop

you might want to try the PLUS edition on linux32... it should extract it's ecw 
libs now during the post installation process.

Re: [JPP-Devel] new installer prototype, call for testers

2012-01-19 Thread Stefan Steiniger
Hei Ede,

so, I tested on my MacOSX at home and it works very well.

The only issue was that the splash screen image was standing on its 
side.. but I guess that's the same for the other OS?

And well, two things that is also uncommon for Mac is that
a) you need to double click on the jar file to start it (I guess we need 
to write that somewhere - normally you download a dmg file, but I 
haven't read yet what it actually is - guess some better zip file). and
b) you need to provide your password for the installation. Though this 
seems to allow the installation right into the applications folder, 
while normally you need to drag an icon from the (unpacked) dmg folder 
to your app folder

However, both things are minor and could be resolved with proper 
documentation.

so - well done Ede!
