Hi,
Thank you for your interest in Alkitab Bible Study,
Regarding re-branding Alkitab, do you familiar or comfortable to
recompile a program ?
Based on your description regarding re-branding, you don't need to have
programming knowledge, but you need to comfortable to run certain
command in computer.
Required tools
- Download Java SDK (need 1.6, does not work in 1.7)
- Download Netbeans 7.0.1
- Download Alkitab Bible Study source code
Step to change some text or resources in the source code
- Open Netbeans
- Go To Menu - File - Open Project, browse until
alkitab-suite/alkitab-suite
- Done
- On the left side the Project (alkitab should be shown here), go to
important file, and choose Project Properties
- find the text contained app.title.full=${app.title} Bible Study and
replaced it with string/text you required eg: ${app.title} Scripture
- then using any file manager, go to alkitab source code and navigate
until this folder
alkitab-suite/alkitab-suite/branding/core/core.jar/org/netbeans/core/startup
- in there should be several file about.png, splash.gif, etc, just
replace that file with the image you want
note: for splash.gif, it is actually png image but renamed to splash.gif
note: and if you replace the image make sure you use the same dimension
as original images eg: splash.gif and about.png dimension is 450x278
- Now Go Back to Netbeans
- and go to Menu - Run - Run Project (Alkitab), now alkitab will be run
and check is your modified text/string/images appear as you intended.
How to create installer distribution
- you need to download izpack installer
- and you need to modify the file
alkitab/source-code/alkitab-suite/alkitab-suite/installer/izpack/izpack-install-script.xml
below <pack name="[Optional] Books" required="no">, set your own module
- now modify the following file alkitab-suite/alkitab-suite/build.xml,
find the following text
<echo message="Copying books to be included with installer" />
<unzip src="${basedir}/../../redist-books/KJV.zip"
dest="${nbdist-izpack.dir}/${nbdist-izpack-packs.dir}/KJV"/>
<unzip src="${basedir}/../../redist-books/StrongsGreek.zip"
dest="${nbdist-izpack.dir}/${nbdist-izpack-packs.dir}/StrongsGreek"/>
<unzip src="${basedir}/../../redist-books/StrongsHebrew.zip"
dest="${nbdist-izpack.dir}/${nbdist-izpack-packs.dir}/StrongsHebrew"/>
<unzip src="${basedir}/../../redist-books/Robinson.zip"
dest="${nbdist-izpack.dir}/${nbdist-izpack-packs.dir}/Robinson"/>
<unzip src="${basedir}/../../redist-books/Institutes.zip"
dest="${nbdist-izpack.dir}/${nbdist-izpack-packs.dir}/Institutes"/>
and replaced it with your own module that match the
izpack/izpack-install-script.xml naming, and you need to put the real
zip file in the folder eg: ${basedir}/../../redist-books/KJV.zip
- Now back to Netbeans
- On the Project Panel, navigate the important files - build script,
right click on the build-script file and choose
run-target/build-installer
- Done, the output will be under alkitab-suite/alkitab-suite/dist
folder. and you can distribute the output file eg: alkitab-2_7.zip to
your users
- to build the Mac OSX version, just run build-script and choose
run-target/build-mac, it will output under dist folder as above eg:
alkitab-2_7-mac.zip

Tonny Kohar
