Re: [Makumba-comm-build] Providing a sample dev. environment

[Epure R. <rad...@gm...>]

Hey,

I was thinking of this also some time ago when i did the installer for
BEST but there are some problems with licenses.
JDK as far as i read and understood it's license it is free
distributable but then again i have never seen it embedded with any
other software package or linux distribution.... (and i do think those
guys have a better understanding of the license than me :D ).

But on the other hand it is possible to have a registry check for the
jdk version if jdk was installed using the windows installer, and only
if it has the proper version to allow makumba to be installed.... but
i never tryed this, still it can't be that hard :D

Today it's my last workday in Siemens (finaly) but exams are coming.
After they are all done i think i can have a look and see what i can
do to avoid all the license issues.

Hugs, Ducu.
