I've just committed a proposed solution for packaging DrJava
into an OS X double-clickable application. I would like any of
our developers with OS X machines to test this out to see if it
is functional on machines other than mine. Directions for
setting up the app are as follows.
Update from cvs to grab the new packaging directory under
drjava. Inside this directory is a DrJava.app directory
containing everything necessary to run DrJava, except for DrJava
itself. Right-click or control-click on the directory in the
Finder and Show Package Contents, or use a terminal to dive into
the hierarchy.
DrJava.app/Contents/Resources/Java/DrJava.jar-goes-here should
be replaced with a jar file containing your favorite version of
DrJava. I've tested with my latest uncommitted classes and with
the most recent public release. Please let me know if this
works on your machines.
In particular, I would like to verify that this works on a 1.3
JVM without the recent 1.3.1 update. I have reason to suspect
that it will not work, in which case I will need to rebuild from
a 1.3 machine and try this again. Any feedback would be
appreciated. Thanks.
