[Jython-dev] Minor update to 2.1

[<bc...@wo...>]

Hi,

A couple of day ago, we say two reports that the installer could not run
correctly in some cases. The identifying output goes like this:

>java -cp . jython-21
>try path /home/install/java/
>can not open archive
>can not read from archive
>can not load class net.sourceforge.liftoff.installer.source.ResURLFactory

The java class is found and loaded, but the .class file can not be
opened as a ZipFile.

I have tried to debug this in private email with Jesper Olsen, but
whenever I made the smallest change to the installer, the installation
succeeded. I have seen similar situations before, where some of my
windows JVM fails to uncompress a .zip file that works fine with other
JVMs.

Since I can't reproduce this particular situation on my machine and
debugging by proxy is really slow, I have instead uploaded a new version
of the jython-21.class file (2.780.547 bytes) which replaces the old
version (2.780.495 bytes).

The only difference between the two versions is an additional
exc.printStackTrace() in the installer class in the new version. Because
the  jython code inside the installers are the same, I will not assign a
new version number to the new release. As a sideeffect of the new
version, the dates of the installed files are now 03-jan-2002 instead of
31-dec-2001.

If you have already downloaded 2.1 and the installation worked, then
there is no reason to download it again.

regards,
finn
