Re: [udig-devel] Turning the SDK into an EXE

Hi,

It looks like there was one critical step that isn't clear.
You have to "export" your application. There are instructions for exporting uDig here: http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Export+Product +procedure
The principal is the same. If you want all your own branding and stuff you'll need: 

1.  A feature that includes your plugins
2. A product feature that declares your branding information (splash screen icons etc...) 2a) In the product you'll need the eclipse RCP feature, the uDig feature and your feature
Once you have those set up and can run your application from the product you have to use the export functionality exposed in the product editor to export you're custom application. This will export a zip file or to a directory. The export should have a directory called eclipse. If you run it it "should" run your app (as long as everything is configured right). THIS is what is supposed to be in the win-installer directory. The SDK and original eclipse are NOT supposed to be there. The workspace also is not supposed to be there. 

So

win-installer\
        eclipse - the exported application as described above
        jre - the uDig JRE with JAI and Image IO.

I think that is it...
There is some information on the product stuff and application branding here:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Branding/branding-your- application.html

Jesse,

I have made some progress re my last e-mail. I now have the following
directory structure:

win-installer\
                  eclipse - the standard eclipse IDE (configured to run the
uDIG sdk & my code)
                  jre - the uDIG JRE with Java Advanced Imaging and Image IO
                  sdk - the uDIG SDK
                  workspace - the additional uDIG Java code that I have
written
If I run NSIS and open the script uDigInstallScript.nsi all appears to be ok. If I then test the installer it all appears to install ok. However, when then run the installed exe all I get is an empty eclipse shell. How do I 
integrate my stuff into it ?

Thanks
Andy

Jesse,

Thanks for the info. I presume you mean install NSIS as in
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page.

Please could you provide some more details on the other stages:

1. Where is the win-installer directory?
2. I presume with the JRE you mean the one downloaded from uDIG that has 
been extended with Java Advanced Imaging and Image IO?
3. How do I export the application if I have the following directory
structure
        UDIG\
                Eclipse - the eclipse IDE
                SDK - the uDIG SDK
                    \configuration
                    \features
                    \plugins
                Workspace - the additional uDIG Java code that I have
written

4. Which NSIS script do I need to run.

Sorry but I could do with a bit of an idiots guide.

Thanks in advance
Andy

Ok... So In our repository there is a nsis script that will convert
the eclipse export (and a JRE) to an exe installer.  The http://
svn.geotools.org/udig/trunk/scripts/releases/bin/ directory has the
scripts.  The do_release.sh script is to release windows, linux and
mac all at once.  It requires you have wine installed and sh.

However you don't need that script all you really need is the win-
installer directory.  The steps basically are:

1. Install the NSIS program
2.  Put the JRE in the win-installer directory (it has to be name jre)
3. Put the exported application (unzipped)
4.  Run the NSIS script.

Hello

I have download and setup Eclipse using the SDK as per

http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/DEV/0+SDK+Quickstart

On disk I have the following directory structure:

\UDIG\
          Eclipse
          UDIG_SDK
          Workspace

Currently I am running my application from within Eclipse. I would
like to
bundle it all up into a standalone exe. Please can anyone help
explain how
to do this. I presume this must be similar to the process of
creating the
release version exe's

Thanks
Andy
