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.
OK, that's your first mistake. :-)
HackyInstaller has not ever been tested using Java5 to my knowledge.
It would be very useful to see if any of these problems persist if you used jdk 1.4
instead of Java5. For now, Java5 compatibility is not a requirement for HackyInstaller.
However, you do identify some important problems.
Problems:
1) I consistently got FileNotFoundException when trying to navigate to
my ANT_HOME directory. (see attached file).
Sounds like a Swing incompatibilty error with Java5. We will deal with this when we get
to Java5 migration.
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).
Not sure about this; works for me. It would be interesting to have you install jdk1.4
and see if this problem
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.
Agreed, and this is an open issue:
<http://hackydev.ics.hawaii.edu:8080/browse/HACK-334>
2) Is there a way to get the version number of the jar on the command line?
In current builds, the -Help command prints out the version number.
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"?
We would have to recompile Tidy.jar to do so. I'm thinking seriously about it. :-) That
message irritates me to no end.
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
That's a bug. I've reproduced it in my own environment. Posted to Jira as:
<http://hackydev.ics.hawaii.edu:8080/browse/HACK-344>
I suppose i wouldn't have minded it too much if it actually put it in
the right place.
It's wrong regardless of whether or not it was created in the right place. :-)
Cheers,
Philip
