jnlp.packEnabled option is not enabled when generating pack200 archives
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MWEBSTART-174
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWEBSTART-174
Project: Maven 2.x Webstart Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: The Alchemist
As originally described in MWEBSTART-130, the generated JNLP references the
{{.jar}} files (which is OK) but without setting the {{jnlp.packEnabled}}
property as described in
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/tools/pack200.html:
{panel}
h4. Pack200
When the Java system property jnlp.packEnabled is set to "true" in a jnlp file
or an applet tag, the Java Plug-in or Java Web Start software will download the
.pack.gz version of JARs. If the .pack.gz version is not available, the
unzipped JAR will be searched for.
Note: the compressed version of foo.jar should be named foo.jar.pack.gz.
Usage in a JNLP File
Use the property tag to specify "jnlp.packEnabled" to "true" within the
resources tags, i.e.:
{code}
<jnlp ...>
...
<resources>
<property name="jnlp.packEnabled" value="true"/>
<java version="1.5+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
<jar href="foo.jar" main="true" download="eager"/>
</resources>
...
</jnlp>
{code}
{panel}
I propose that {{jnlp.packEnabled}} be automatically inserted into the
{{<resources>}} section if {{pack200}} is enabled.
NOTE: I'll submit a patch soon that simply adds the described property to the
generated JNLP. I don't see any bad side effects from them, but I might be
missing something (comments, Tony?).
