Category: Other Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mathias Ricken (mgricken) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate Custom drjava.jar Initial Comment: There have been some requests (I believe from the media computation people at Georgia Tech; http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/mediaComp-plan/101 ) for a feature that can generate a customized DrJava jar file that already includes user-specified jar libraries. This functionality would take the current DrJava jar (it should work with EXE and Mac applications too) and add a number of user-specified jar files to it. Then it will write out a new drjava.jar file. The libraries included in the new jar file will then automatically be included in the classpath and be usable without adding them to a classpath somewhere. It will ONLY write a jar file, not an EXE file or a Mac application. There is no functionality to remove the libraries again. Issues to consider: 1. We should probably disable automatic updates for modified drjava.jar files. Otherwise a user may download an updated version that doesn't have required libraries anymore. 2. We should check whether an added library interferes with a class already included in DrJava. 3. What kind of debugging information can we print out to distinguish a modified version from an original version? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=438938&aid=2989492&group_id=44253 |
