Butterfly XML Editor

If you'd like to assign this bug (and any other Linux specific bugs) to
me, I'll produce a patch.

I think this is probably that Butterfly looks for resources relative to
the CWD, not to its own home directory. Suppose Butterfly is installed in

/home/simon/tmp/butterfly1.1

(which it currently is on my machine)

and the CWD is

/home/simon/workspace/mapping-generator

and you run

$BUTTERFLY_HOME/run.sh dbdef2hibernate-mapping.xsl

(which is what I just did) butterfly fails with

simon@apu:~/workspace/mapping-generator$ java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/home/simon/workspace/mapping-generator/butterfly.conf (No such file or
directory)

Having suggested this is the problem, I don't have a quick cure. I've
personally altered run.sh on my machine to

/----
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$BUTTERFLY_HOME" = "" ]
then
BUTTERFLY_HOME=/home/simon/tmp/butterfly1.1
fi

for lib in butterfly.jar lib/jlz.jar lib/xml-apis.jar
lib/avalon-excalibur.jar \
lib/avalon-framework.jar lib/commons-collections-1.0.jar
lib/commons-JXPath.jar \
lib/commons-logging-1.0.jar lib/log4j.jar lib/logkit.jar lib/xep.jar
lib/xerces.jar \
lib/fop.jar lib/batik.jar lib/xalan.jar
do
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$BUTTERFLY_HOME/$lib
done

java -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$BUTTERFLY_HOME/lib/endorsed" -classpath
$CLASSPATH \
butterfly.xmlview.test.Main go
\----

This doesn't solve the problem, because Butterfly continues to look for
its own resources relative to the CWD. What's needed (may actually be
there, I haven't investigated in enough depth) is a command line arg to
specify to Butterfly where it should look for resources e.g.

java -Djava.endorsed.dirs="lib/endorsed" -classpath $CLASSPATH
butterfly.xmlview
.test.Main -butterfly-home $BUTTERFLY_HOME go

Like the artwork, BTW. Definitely adds personality - a sense that this is
a real person's product and not some anonymous corporate production.

I'm on a Windows2K box and had the same error. I removed
Java 1.3 and installed Java 1.4 and the error was resolved.
