OK cool. I figured this problem must be well solved by now. Wrapping in a

Hi,
This issue has been solved by a number of Java projects and we have seen the
pitfalls of using jar files for distribution in all these projects. Native
executables are easiest and best way to solve this problem. The logic to
identify java, version, location, operating system should be done in

A minor pitfall is that the jar file might on windows be associated
with a compressing software like winrar or winzip. But we can make
this clear as well.

Sounds good. Derby support is probably not the most urgent but it
does seem tantalisingly close and an important "nice to have".
I presume then that you are testing with the modified DerbyDialect?
Excuse my ignorance, but how in fact do you add a dialect to hibernate
without rebuilding hibernate.
Nice. Works fine here. Added an IdentityDerbyDialect to DHIS 2 and modified
the jdbc stuff as usual.
The import fails while complaining that you can't compare ints to chars for
things like
dataelementid='1' (one must remove the quotes)
These things might contribute to the failed tests. Will star

Hi
It seems there is light at the end of tunnel regarding derby.
There were three problems with derby:
1. the tables indicator and translation using SQL keywords
2. the length of some varchar fields being beyond derby's max
3. a field 'external' in the document table also being an sql keyword.

Great. Works like a charm. Specially on Windoze. The application is
now self referencing - just double click on the executable jar (or a
shortcut to it) and it figures out the rest from there. (Knut: In
fact it will work really well off a usb stick - no setup required).
A bit weird on linux.
I have committed a change that makes DHIS 2 to look for a system property
"dhis2.home" if the environment variable "DHIS2_HOME" is not set. This
should work with the executable jar...
