RE: [Jython-users] running jython from cygwin

[rpcee <rp...@op...>]

could not the installer give you a jython.bat and a jython.sh on windows, and 
not bother about auto detection.
i just have alias jython=d:/jython-21/jython.bat in my .profile, which 
probably starts an extra shell(?) but it works.

FYI I have added a maybe relevant note to  the feature request

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=437792&group_id=12867&
atid=362867

Anyway this does not change the status quo.

regards.

It certainly doesn't. 

The status is that Liftoff isn't actively develeped anymore, so all new
features have to be added by me. I'd rather not spend any more time on
that.

So we should start looking for another installer to use. I prefer an
open-source installer for all the obvious reasons. It is a strong
requirement that the resulting .class file can be installed with a java1
VM, including jview.

How about just distributing a zip and/or tar file?  Tell the user to
unpack it where they want jython "installed" and set an environment
variable for the startup scripts to use (or modify the scripts so they
know where jython is installed).

This is simplest for you to do, requires no new tools, and I prefer it
because I don't like installers when I don't know what they are doing
to my system.
