RE: [stellation-res] Windows distribution file
|
It's good to see the activity relating to Windows distribution;
I'm looking forward to doing my own development work using
Windows as well as Linux.
One comment: the preferred distribution format for Eclipse-based
Stellation components is almost certainly an "Eclipse Feature".
This is a packaged set of jars that can be installed locally
(from an expanded zip) or via URL (from an update site).
The Eclipse Update Manager makes it very easy to install
components packaged in this way.
A number of zipped "Features" are currently on our downloads page.
Once we have our own web server (ETA January), we'll be able
to set up an "Eclipse Update Site", allowing installation directly from
a URL.
Of course, this does not apply to Stellation server components
or command line client components (at least as they currently exist).
(If the command-line client becomes Eclipse-based, the story may change)
But, for Eclipse client components, it seems like a no-brainer.
