Hey Guys,

I just downloaded HackyIntaller version 6.7.909 from
http://hackystat.ics.hawaii and I had some problems that caused me to
stop using it. Since, there is no manual way to download sensors, it
seems I can't install any of the sensors.  (of course I know that I can
type in something like
http://hackystat.ics.hawaii.edu/hackystat/download/sensorshell.jar to
download them manually). 

BTW, I'm running Java5.  

Problems:
1) I consistently got FileNotFoundException when trying to navigate to
my ANT_HOME directory.  (see attached file).

2) For some reason, hackyInstaller is making my .hackystat folder in C:\
instead of C:\documents and settings\akagawa. (see attached file, way at
the bottom).

Questions/Suggestions:
1) I looked at the log file and saw this.. 
Sep 16, 2005 10:03:01 AM
org.hackystat.kernel.installer.util.HackyInstallerLogger logMessage
INFO: C:\.hackystat\hackyinstaller.xml created/updated.

is the "org.hackystat.... logMessage" really needed for each entry? I
really clutters the important information.

2) Is there a way to get the version number of the jar on the command line? 

3) I know this output is expected, but is there any way to get rid of
the "Rhino classes (js.jar) not found - Javascript disabled"? 

4) I'm not sure if there is any way around this but, I didn't like that
a failed command created a Hackystat directory. 

d:\java>java -jar hackyInstaller.jar help
Hackystat directory does not exist.  Creating...
Rhino classes (js.jar) not found - Javascript disabled

I suppose i wouldn't have minded it too much if it actually put it in
the right place.  


thanks, aaron
