hi -
can someone please give me a couple of tips on where i can look
for learning about how to package my program so i don't have
to code c:\Program Files\JadeCheckBook\filename.ext in my
java source files
here is a list of a few files that arent java related that kick around
in my project directory c:\Program Files\JadeCheckBook\files.ext
* icons
* text files that store data from the program
* report files from jasper reports
* windows help file ?
i think i could do it in 3 steps:
1. have the user download java <not sure if javawebstart could do
that automatically?> can webstart find and download jre automatic
if needed??
2. have the user use exe to install data files
3. run the webstart technology
this way there would be no using a winzip type utility.
i think it is worth it to try to simplify this routine. if javawebstart
can detect and download a jre AND install my files in one step
i could possibly be looking at 2 easy steps.
the steps visitors to my hobby site have to follow now are found at:

thanks for any tips,
jim

i just found part of the answer above.
i still wonder about putting icons, text files,
reports so i dont have to use
c:\Program Files\JadeCheckBook\files.ext
in my java source. it is an eclipse
ide trick. i will be looking around for it.
oh and i use fatjar to jar up all of the
jars needed and java source code.
thanks for any help,
jim

problem solved [i think]
i was just thinking about it.
the real trick i want is the checking for the range of jre
versions to install .
<j2se version = "1.5*" href= "http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
(in my jnlp script)
i may be able to avoid recoding paths in my java
source if i use a combination of an exe installer
and the just the jars needed to start it.
for i.e.
install all files (icons,txt files,report files) and directories as they are
now except
the ones needed for jnlp launch with webstart (i will put those on the web).
i hope that isnt confusing. i will try to use inno installer and
java web start to make a 2 stage install.
there is one way to find out.
thanks,
jim
