Dev notes#

Mac OS X#

  • The Mac OS X JarBundlerContent unavailable! (broken link)https://jspwiki-vm1.apache.org/images/out.png 2.2.0 is used to build a native Mac OS X app but it depends on having the Apple JDK installed
  • Supporting a modern Oracle JDK is done using the Oracle's AppBundler TaskContent unavailable! (broken link)https://jspwiki-vm1.apache.org/images/out.png

Creating The Native Launchers#

The native launchers are under version control and can be re-created manually. In other words there are not automatically build because

  • Considering the complex setup I'm glad that it works on the JSPWiki committer boxes
  • Downloading all the stuff is time-consuming and would slow the build for everyone
  • There should be some manual testing before promoting the native launchers

Creating The Windows Launcher#

Run the following commands

jspwiki-portable> mvn clean package

jspwiki-portable> ant woas:download-launch4j-for-mac woas:create-windows-app
Buildfile: /Users/sgoeschl/work/asf/jspwiki/trunk/jspwiki/jspwiki-portable/build.xml

woas:download-launch4j-for-mac:
