When the app is cached a default Info.plist will be created for it,
but is there a way to distribute your own Info.plist and override
the default?
I am not that familiar with Java Web Start yet, although I've looked
at it a little bit more recently.
However, accessing and modifying the Info.plist from java code isn't
really all that difficult and is part of the functionality of my
appedit code.
e.g. part of the most recently added AppEditVerify code (should be
mentioned somewhat recently in the list archives)
StringBuffer plistpath = new StringBuffer(APP_PACKAGE).append
(fs).append("Contents").append(fs).append("Info.plist");
InfoPlistParser parser = new InfoPlistParser();
InfoPlistDict plist = parser.readInfoPlist(plistpath.toString());
...
[ Example modification to plist]
plist.put("CFBundleExecutable",cfexecutable);
...
InfoPlist infoplist = new InfoPlist(plist);
try {
infoplist.write(plistpath.toString());
}
catch (IOException ioex) {
out.println("repair I/O problem on Info.plist - ERROR");
repaired = false;
}
Info.plist dictionaries and arrays classes either subclass or just
wrap but still include the same methods (I'm not remembering for sure
as these have worked reliably for sometime without needing changing)
as java.util.Hashtable and java.util.Vector, so pretty easy to work
with.
Security issues aside in changing the application bundle on the fly.
But it's not that difficult for that part if you have the permissions
and want to examine or change it.
Depends on MinML, a small bundled XML parser, the URL should be
included in the full appedit download somewhere.
