Re: [Wrapper-user] Windows Logoff problem in 3.2.1

Leif and Friends,

    I've uploaded the next version of the JSWConf tool.  It can be 
downloaded at the following URL:

    http://www.tdcs.cc/apps/jswconf/JSWConf.jar

    to use, simply enter (sans quotations) "java -jar JSWConf.jar".
    (The JavaWebStart file is at the same location, but for some reason, 
the new features don't work.  I'm trying to figure that one out.)

Here are the changes, features, bugs, next steps, etc.

Features:
    --Documentation (incomplete but there):  When a known setting is 
selected, the basic documentation from the website is displayed.  
Otherwise, either a "coming soon" type message or "No documentation 
found." is displayed.
    --Adding "available" settings:  the "Add Setting" dialog now has a 
combo-box at the top that lists the remaining settings (the ones not 
included in the wrapper.conf file yet).  Selecting a setting in the 
combo will fill out the setting field.  (You still have to enter the 
value yourself.)  When you next add a setting, note that the list is 
decreased appropriately.
          --Side note:  You still must change <n> settings to the 
appropriate numerical order (e.g.  java.classpath.<n> must be changed to 
1,2,etc as appropriate.)
 
Bugs/Issues/General ugliness:
    --Documentation is incomplete.  Basically, I copied the 
documentation from the website and pasted it into a 
java.util.Properties-formatted file (adding appropriate html).  This is 
slow, and takes a lot of time.  Only the first 15-20 settings are 
documented.  I'll try to add more as time goes along
    --Documentation setup:  In order to keep the whole thing compact (a 
single, deliverable JAR file), I had to include the documentation file 
in a single file (located in package com.tdcs.jswconf.opt, in case you 
are wondering.)  It works, but I'm open to other ways of making this 
happening...especially if it would make a collaborative effort easier.
    --Layout is rather ugly.  I'll keep playing with it, but suggestions 
would be appreciated.
    --As I said, the Java WebStart is not working.  For some reason, 
it's failing to find the documentation file within the jar, and I can't 
figure out why (It was throwing a NullPointerException for no apparent 
reason, so I had to trap it with a try-catch just to keep it from 
killing the whole dialog.  Anyone have any idea why this is so?

Next steps:
    --Better layout!
    --Dividing the documentation and "available" properties into 
appropriate groups.
    --Getting help.  Documentation is slow, and I know that I'm not the 
sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to some of the "cooler" GUI 
tricks (I'm more of a server-side man, myself).  I've applied for a 
project at java.net, but I haven't gotten approval yet.  If I can't get 
it set up there, I'll host it on my own site (no CVS, unfortunately) and 
fold in the updates myself.

    Let me know what you think, and we'll see where we can go from 
here.  As always, feel free to fire those slings and arrows, and I'll 
see what I can do.

David Days.
