Sjur N. Moshagen updated FOR-581:
---------------------------------
Attachment: tools.xxe.doc-update.txt
A patch to update the online docs (0.8-dev) to reflect the changes made.
> Toolbar icons not found if tool is installed in user config dir
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOR-581
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-581
> Project: Forrest
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Tool: XXE config
> Versions: 0.8-dev
> Reporter: Sjur N. Moshagen
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: tools.xxe.doc-update.txt, tools.xxe.icon-ref-patch.txt
>
> The XXE tool is referencing several icons in the XXE distribution in a way
> that requires the tool to be installed within the application directory
> structure.
> As of version 2.10 (or was it 2.9p1?), the user config dir is a replica of
> the application config dir, and is scanned upon application startup. This
> makes it natural to install the forrest XXE tool in the user space, to avoid
> having to reinstall it each time XXE is updated.
> Because the icon references are relative to the installation dir of XXE (and
> assuming that the tool is installed at a certain directory depth within it),
> it is presently not possible to install the tool in the XXE user config area.
> The tool initialisation will crash, which again will turn off the tool.
> A simple solution would be to just copy the icons into the forreset tool, but
> I have been unable to find any license text or any other description on
> whether that would be acceptable.
> Another solution would be to enhance the URI of the icons with a reference to
> the installation directory, but I don't know whether there exists a mechanism
> that would allow the necessary platform independence and flexibility.
