As part of my work with the California Chapter of the OSGeo I would like to create a CD or DVD that contains OpenJUMP. This CD could be distributed (for free) at conferences and seminars. (I might even try to cook up an OpenJUMP workshop or two.)
I was wondering if anyone could help me get started with the process of packaging OJ with its own JVM. I think this would make the program easier to install for a lot of users. (I know it increases the installation size.) I think Larry may have done this for SkyJUMP? My goal is to make installation of the program from the CD as simple as possible. I may have two versions of the CD. One for "beginners" that includes an OJ with a JVM, and another for more experienced computers users that does not come wrapped with a JVM. (I'm also thinking of throwing some sample data and a couple of short video tutorials on the CD.) Please let me know what you guys think. Are there major reasons why I shouldn't build a distro of OJ with an included JVM? Are there reasons why this wouldn't be a good way to distribute OJ on CD?
