ORIGINAL REPORTER: marco

In order to ensure that all clients have a Java runtime and especially the same version, we should create nightly build packages with the JRE included.

Since this will drastically increase the number of packages which are produced by the nightly build every day, we should maybe stop building tar.gz files and only create zip files.

How do we proceed with the installation program? It does not make much sense to ship a Java-based installer that requires a JRE already being installed but contains a JRE, too. Maybe we can wrap the Java-based installer inside a small native installer that extracts the JRE into a temporary directory? This requires more thoughts.

    The JRE should already contain the RXTX native libraries which is necessary for serial and parallel ports (used by NightLabsConnection).

    Possible with a target project containing the jre. No change required in nightly build.
