Hi,
First off that was a nice little set of new features. Thanks to all.
I've noticed a few things that might be bugs, missing features, machine
configuration issues, or just personal stupidity (never exclude the obvious
:-). I thought I'd run them by people for comments before submitting them
as bugs.
1. The new JVMOptions setting produces a classpath file that reads:
# JVMOptions ==..VM_OPTIONS@
While this is fine for from within Eclipse, it will not work with
Apple's launcher as it just jams..VM_OPTIONS@ on the command line. Not
the end of the world, but an annoyance. It would be better to leave this
blank if there are no settings.
[I see now this was a bug]
2. Is there anyway to have the package name also added to this line:
# ApplicationClass == Application
Again, it only affects launching outside of Eclipse. This only needs to
be fixed for deployment, but I'm lazy. :-) I also sometime run from the
command line when trouble shooting. Want a fun example? Eclipse (for a
reason that I fail to understand), lists all of the files in the JRE/lib
and JRE/lib/ext on the bootclasspath. While usually merely useless, this
prevents settings in java.security from affecting classes in those jars. I
only found this by running from the command line.
4. Some of the WO run parameters seem wrong, or can't be implemented as a
checkbox. Case in point,
-WODirectConnectEnabled true
If this is unchecked, then it seems to not get added. Thus, it defaults
to true. Hmmm, no way to turn this off other than enter the parameter
manually. Making the checkbox option false, instead of true, should fix this.
5. For some reason WOOpenURL no longer works. I get this logged out when
the app launches.

[2003-08-05 19:12:14 PDT] <main> Unable to locate WOOpenURL on your
computer, AutoOpen launch will not work
My wobuild.properties look OK
wo.dir.root=U:/Apple
wo.dir.user.home.library.frameworks=C:/Documents and Settings/Chuck
Hill/Local/Library/Frameworks
wo.woroot=U:/Apple
wo.dir.local=U:/Apple/Local
wo.wosystemroot=U:/Apple
wo.dir.user.home.library=C:/Documents and Settings/Chuck Hill/Local/Library
wo.dir.library=U:/Apple/Library
wo.dir.local.library=U:/Apple/Local/Library
wo.dir.library.frameworks=U:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
wo.dir.local.library.frameworks=U:/Apple/Local/Library/Frameworks
wo.wolocalroot=U:/Apple/Local
wo.dir.system=U:/Apple
Unchecking the option and specifiying it manually works.
6. Any thoughts on automatically including the ..../Resources/Java path in
the classpath for the WO Launcher? This would make it easier when
components are in packages.
Comments?
