How Should RoboJogger Be Packaged?

Hi Mate. I'm on a mac here and i would prefer a jar in all cases. It also has to be max java 1.6 to be usable for me.

I can set up a Mac build as well. I've done that before. It will even be somewhat Macish, if you will, as I try to follow the Mac application styling guide for Macs by using the Mac menu bar and doing things like reversing the ok/cancel buttons on dialogs (I have support for that kind of stuff built into my code). For a Mac version, I can either have a zip filled with jars, or I can also create a .dmg file if preferred.

Do whatever the easiest is for you. I'm fine with .jar or .dmg. If i'm going to use it, i will probable make an .app out of it anyway. Not sure what you mean with 'somewhat Macish' :) - do you mean you have programmed it this way or just using the -Xdock flags?

In you are asking specifics, being somewhat Mac-ish to me means setting setting property "apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" to "true" to use the screen menu bar instead of a menu bar in the Java app, setting system property "com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name" to set the application name, using the "com.apple.eawt" classes for setting up Exit, About, and Preferences menu items, and for ok/cancel style dialogs, making the ok button appear to the right of cancel button rather than the other way around.

If you are feeling particularly ambitious, you could use launch4j to make a windows exe to launch it (or wrap it). It doesn't change anything for me (I can run it by double clicking the jar). But others might find it useful.

I think I recall a recent version of launch4j also supporting making MacOSX executables too.
