Re: [udig-devel] An installer for OSX to try out
|
The JAI/Image IO stuff is exactly the reason that we need the
installer. Geotiff support requires a version of Image IO that is not
shipped with the java available on the OSX. I could try to make a
eclipse fragment that adds the Image IO to libs... But I don't know
if it would be picked up correctly or not... I suppose I could try
that though and see if it works. I am worried about a little about
version hell. I know that OSX does the right thing when the jai stuff
is put in ~/Library/Java/Extensions.

Hello.
I just tried the installer. It worked, but I have some comments.
Why do we need an installer on OS X? Does the installer need to
install something in some other place? I am pretty happy about
download a zip or dmg and just drag the application to where I want
it. And then just delete application when I want to remove it.
Does JAI stuff need to be installed in .../Java/Extensions? I think
it would be cleaner to keep it inside the uDig directory and alter
the classpath or whatever to include it.
In the "Select Installation Packages" view, I clicked one of the 3
lines. It worked, but is was kind of non-macish that the small
window with the 3 lines got even smaller. See the attached screenshot.
I guess my description for the JAI/Image IO is too long. I agree that
is a really ugly effect.
