This is a post from the newsgroup. It suggests some improvements to the doc for jnlp. =========== First of all, THANK YOU to Pascal for writing the new Java Web Start documentation for Eclipse 3.1RC3. It helps to have all the concepts tied together like this. However, I do have some constructive feedback for the documentation. Is this newsgroup the most effective way to send comments, or would it be more appropriate to post the comments in Bugzilla Bug 94141? Either way, I guess it won't hurt to post them to the newsgroup. Here goes: In Step 1: * Is "wrappering" the correct word in this context? Would "wrapper" be more concise? * The instructions say: "Create a feature including all the features that are listed in your product definition." Does this refer to just the plug-ins that are unique to our product, or all the dependencies as well? * The instructions say: "Copy in a folder of your feature the startup.jar." Does this mean: "Copy the startup.jar file into your feature's folder"? * When we add the "root=" line to build.properties, should we specify the absolute path, or the relative path? If relative, should the folder just be "." (dot)? In Step 2: * At the phrase "You need to use keytool", you may wish to add a hyperlink to http://java.sun.com/ j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/development.html#signing which provides an excellent overview of how to use keytool. * "File > Export > Features" should be "File > Export > Deployable Features" In Step 3: * No questions. In the section "Plug-ins based application" * This section is very confusing to me (maybe it's just me!). I thought _all_ of the instructions thus far were specifically for plugin-based (RCP) applications. Why a separate section for it? Weren't we told to create a wrappering feature in Step 1? Are we supposed to create a second wrappering feature, different from the first? Any additional words of clarification for this section would be very appreciated. In general: * Every occurrence of the word "than" in the document can be safely replaced with "as". I hope this helps for RC4 and beyond! Please let me know if you have any questions or want clarification on any of my comments herein posted. Thanks, Geoff
I could not get to it for 3.2, changing milestone.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
