First off let me say that I love the SQuirreL client. It has been my
favorite database explorer for a long time now. A lot of great work
has gone into this fine utility, and I am wondering how much effort
would be needed to turn it into a portable application capable of
running from entirely on a USB / CD drive.
Some things that would need to be modified when 'portable' mode is on:
* The application should not attempt to write or read from the user's
folders, only the install directory
* The location of the jdbc jars should be relative to the install directory
* Alternate batch/sh startup scripts should use a JRE installed to a
location relative to the install directory
Is this something that is easily achievable?
Thanks
