Paul, As it currently stands, the SkyJUMP launcher assumes that the startup jar has all of the classpath stuff defined in the Manifest. This is what SkyJUMP does, but to date this technique has not worked on OJ. I'm not sure what the problem is. It may have something to do with having two mai

SS, I'm going to do this in stages. 1. Create the new module 2. Change and test the new binary 3. Cleanup the core module, moving some launcher files around a bit. Will need something like the scripts directory to put the compiled versions in so that the nightly build doesn't have to build the

Larry's idea for a launcher based on Eclipse sounds interesting, but might we contact the JSmooth folks to see of there is already support for a flexible class path that we are missing, or, to see if there are plans to add it? The Sunburned Surveyor On 7/11/07, Sunburned Surveyor <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Hi Stefan, There were two things in the email, first was creating a launcher that allows OpenJUMP to behave as a normal windows application. For this it would be nice to adapt the work done by the SkyJUMP team. The other is the installer, which as you mention we already have. What I'm propos

Hi Paul, Assuming everyone agrees, of course, that would be great! The Eclipse launcher that it is based on is written in cross platform C (mostly) with the necessarily platform dependent stuff isolated into specific directories. Supporting drag and drop is simply a matter of processing comm

Hi Larry, As you've obviously tried various different launchers and come up with one that works with the JUMP platform, any chance that we could back port this work into open jump? What else is required to support drag and drop into the JUMP platform. Also I'm presuming your launcher allows yo

Hi, I've used Jsmooth a few years ago and I found it smart (especially simple to use), but if launch4J is more flexible, maybe a good idea to use it instead. Michaël Larry Becker a écrit : >I've tried launch4j and it worked OK. For SkyJUMP I ultimately >decided to build a custom launcher usi

I've tried launch4j and it worked OK. For SkyJUMP I ultimately decided to build a custom launcher using the eclipse launcher for additional flexibility. That was the only way I could get double-click and drag and drop file functionality to work. Larry On 7/3/07, Paul Austin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
