Rob, That was the first thing I tried. Every time I checked, the archive file I tried to upload never appeared even though I never received an indication that there was a problem. You can see my attempts in the Patches item that I opened on March 31.

Is this what the SQuirreL Project Administrators (colbell, gerdwagner, gwghome) want? I'm just trying to upload a double-clickable SQuirreL App Bundle for Mac. I'm not submitting a Bug Fix, information relevant to an open Bug, nor am I opening a new Bug. Still, just say the word and I will open a Bug Issue and attach my .zip file to that issue. On an ironic note, I've spent more time trying to share this App Bundle than I did researching how and actually creating the bundle. Mike.

Rob, I went back and tried to upload the .zip file again. I still get the "Invalid File Name" error when I try. In my Final Attempt, the fully qualified file name was: /Volumes/Projects/SQuirreL/SQuirreL.zip In some of my previous attempts, the file name was "SQuirreL SQL Client.sitx" and "SQuirreL SQL Client.zip" but I decided to reduce it down to a very simple 8.3 name format. Still, no matter what I seem unable to upload the file. Mike. On Jun 18, 2005, at 4:03 PM, robert wrote: squ...@xe... wrote: Rob, That was the first thing I tried.

Mike Mike, I just uploaded a zip file which contains a patch for enhanced alias listing RFE I submitted earlier here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1222093&group_id=28383&atid=393417 Furthermore, I also submitted a new patch and it works now (I know that it gave me some error on the web page before, so I still believe you :) See my patch here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1223323&group_id=28383&atid=393416 Rob |

Rob, The space before "Project" in the path is just an artifact of my typing the path by hand. In the Mac GUI, I don't know of a good way to copy the path to a file or directory, and I did not open a Terminal to get the File Path. Here is the file path as copied from Terminal: /Volumes/Projects/SQuirreL/SQuirreL.zip <nit mode="on"> If i had a space before "Project" then the ls command would have to be: ls -l /Volumes/\ Projects/SQuirreL/SQuirreL.zip </nit> Mike On Jun 18, 2005, at 8:33 PM, robert wrote: squ...@xe... wrote: Rob, I went back and tried to upload the .zip file again.

When you do ls -l /Volumes/ Projects/SQuirreL/SQuirreL.zip on the command line, what do you get? It looks to me - unless it's just a type in your email - that there is a space between the slash (/) at the end of Volumes and the "P" in Projects.

Mike, Actually all the Jar Bundler is doing is moving the files into a specific dir structure (dir name ending in .app) with an Info.plist file in the right place. From the app point of view that is the same as I did however I wrote an ant script to construct the structure so it runs anywhere. The end result should be the same - you have a double-clickable app on the Mac. I also sorted out things like the help files, and the about, quit and prefs menu items. If you can, could you test what Gerd sent out and let us know what you think.

I built the Jar Bundle using an Apple Supplied tool called "Jar Bundler". This tool can take a Pure Java Application and bundle it with some description files into a special .app directory structure. This special directory presents to the Mac user as a single executable. When double-clicked, this Bundle executes the underlying Java Application. This is similar in concept to a Windows .bat file that executes a Java Application using "start" or javaw.exe but since the entire structure is shipped as one unit you don't have the issues of broken paths when the Application is moved from one drive/partition/directory to another. My mechanism for Bundling SQuirreL for the Mac *IS* dependent on doing the final build step (the Bundling step) on a Mac. However, what we gain by doing this final step is a version of SQuirreL that is byte-code compatible with the code created by the current squirrel-sql-1.2beta6-install.jar, which can be launched by double clicking on the "App File" or a shortcut, and which can live on the "Dock" bar. I have not seen Neville's ant build solution yet, but I expect that some special processing steps are performed in the build process, and that launching the resulting SQuirreL application will require opening a shell, cd'ing to a special directory and running a shell or ant script to bring up the application. From an ease-of-use standpoint double-clicking beats command line when the interface is a GUI (IMNSHO). But perhaps Neville has a technique that I don't know about (there's lots about the Mac that I don't know). FWIW, removing the .bat and .sh files was not necessary, but since I was building by hand I removed the extraneous items (sort of like someone who, while creating a Windows-specific distribution, might be tempted to remove the .sh file).
