Hi,
after doing some benchmarks we now know for sure that we have to
use Java 1.3.1 on PowerPC-based machines, and Java 1.5 on Intel-
based ones. Is there a good way to do this? To me, it seems that
there is no way to specify something like this for
JavaApplicationLauncher...
You can do this with Java Web Start. Java Web Start can make an
application bundle that lanches your app. I would start there.
I doubt that this is a solution for our problem, at least in the
case of stand-alone-no-network-machines. We definitely don't want
Java Web Start to pull the latest version of our servers, but we
want that users who download a .dmg or get it on CD can run the
application like they can with any other application.
Or did I miss a way to make JWS work locally? (without running a
web server an connecting to localhost)
As of Java 5 there is a way to install into the JWS cache from a CD
or other media. I assume this simply means that you must have Java 5
installed so its version of JWS is making the decisions and that the
JNLP data can still direct the application to launch with Java 1.3.
If you mark the application as "offline-allowed" (or whatever that
parameter is named) then it does not need to connect to a server to
launch the application. I suppose you could populate the cached JNLP
data with a bogus update URL so that it was impossible for JWS to
update the application automatically when the system is online.
Keep in mind that you would control the URLs and what is available on
your server. So if you went with an installation of a JWS
application from a .dmg and JWS checked for the "latest" version it
will only see a new version if you configure the URL and your server
to make such a version visible.
