HackyInstaller will say it is out of date if its version number does not
match the version number specified by the user's Hackystat host. As of
now, the version on the hackystat host (specified in the
sensor.properties) will always be considered to be the newest one.
Building the system on your own and using the hackyInstaller.jar you
built will generate the message about being out of date because the
version doesn't match the hackystat server.
If you have any questions on hackyInstaller you can email me directly and
CC Philip.

Hi Julie,
I am pretty sure Lorin is not building the system on his own, and even with
a locally built system, I don't understand why the presence/absence of a
copy of hackyInstaller.jar in the current directory should affect things
the way he's indicating.
However, your comment does reveal an opportunity for improvement in
hackyInstaller. Rather than simply specifying that hackyInstaller is out of
date, the warning message would be more useful if it indicated three
things: (1) the version of hackyInstaller, (2) the version of the server,
and (3) the URL of the server.
So, for example:
Warning: HackyInstaller version 6.7.909 does not match Hackystat server
version 6.7.919 (http://cs.care.umd.edu:8080/). You may need to upgrade.
Posted to Jira as:

Cheers,
Philip
