Hey,
Why not use WAR files to distribute your
Java WebApp. That is what they are built for.
- No
it is not required for installed files to be in a bundle.
For 3 I might suggest using Iceberg as I
find it easier to use it when working with file permissions.

question
Hi.
I am trying to use Leopard's PackageMaker for the first time to install a Java
webapp. These are very basic questions, so I apologize in advance.
I am not an Apple person.
1. With Leopard's PM version, do I need to bundle all the files into a myApp.app
file before adding it to the PackageMaker? It didn't appear necessary in
the UI, but when I build, I am getting "Could not copy root to split
forks." I don't know what that means at all.
2. Also, from googling a lot, it looks like an earlier PM version allowed
for requiring user to be root to run the installer, but I only see the option
to prompt for "Admin Privileges" with the Leopard PM version.
3. Finally, is it really NOT okay to mess with permissions of files on
Mac OS X post install? I have seen mention of this several places on the
Internet. And my installer was somehow removing the "other"'s
execute permission from the java executable under
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM..../Home/bin/java. Very BAD.
Thanks for the help.
