[Openjnlp-devel] New launcher code committed to CVS

[Kevin H. <ke...@na...>]

The Launcher has been overhauled once more...

The cache is now stored in "~/Library/Caches/OpenJNLP" on Mac OS X, 
still in "~/.jnlp/cache" on all other platforms. On Mac OS X the cache 
will be automatically moved if it's found in the old location.

Instead of creating a complex classpath when invoking the external 
launcher, OpenJNLP now uses the "java.ext.dirs" property to point to the 
directory holding all of the launcher jars. This is now in the 
"launcher" directory within the cache. Every time external launching is 
invoked the launcher checks to see if the "launcher" dir needs updating. 
If so, it copies all necessary jars into the location. After files are 
copied a "version.txt" file is written with the launcher version. This 
file is used to determine when to copy new files.

The launcher.properties file has been changed to support the new 
behavior:

      "launcher.files"                 added, lists all of the files that 
need to be copied
      "launcher.<platform>classdir"    added, directory where files 
should be found
      "launcher.<platform>.classpath"  removed


OpenJNLP has also been upgraded to SAX 2.0.1 and NanoXML 2.2. The jar 
names are all different.
