Java apps again!

dtw · 2005-10-16 15:14:55

While trying to follow Dusty's guidelines I have had some problems with two apps. The guidelines call for you to place non-jar files in /usr/share but I can't figure out how to pint these apps to their other files. I figure the secret is in the .jars themselves but I dunno where to look - ideas and suggestions welcome!

The build files for the apps can be found in http://dtw.jiwe.org/share/errors/interlis-compiler and http://dtw.jiwe.org/share/errors/umleditor

I'm looking at the interlis one right now, will get back to you eventually....

FTR, the java packaging guidelines are here: http://www.buchuki.com/misc/archjava.html and if somebody wanted to copy them to the wiki, they will find that.... ugh, I have to be honest.... they'll find that its a thankless job. But they would still be glad to have done something for Arch....

It's all done with setting the classpath flag (or env) so that java can find the required jars.

When creating the PKGBUILD for jacman, I based it on Dusty's JEdit PKGBUILD. I'm sure if you look at a few Java-based packages, you'll get the gist.

No, that's not the prob here. The problem is that the jar file appears to expect the non-classpath files (ie: support files, config files, images, etc) to be in the same directory is the jar or something. The sources don't appear to be available so I don't know how to get around it -- I'd say this was one of those special case problems to go in /opt...
