Re: [josm-dev] restart JOSM
On this note, has anyone here played Puzzle Pirates?
I mention this because the game is written in Java, and has an online update
capability.
You down load a Java loader application (small) that fetches the latest
version of the code from the server. When the upload is complete it runs the
game code, and terminates. The user runs the game code from then on.
The first thing the game does is check for the latest version. If it is not up
to date, it runs the loader application, and terminates. The loader updates
the game (via diff) and launches the game once download is complete.
Its a simple model, and one that I believe JOSM could benefit from emulating.
Just my 2p.
:-)

try {
File file = File.createTempFile(josm-restart-, .sh);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(file));
pw.println(sleep 1);
pw.println(open -a JOSM.app);
pw.close();
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(/bin/sh +
file.getAbsolutePath()); System.exit(0);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Why are you writing a josm-restart.sh instead of just calling /bin/sh
with sleep 1 open -a JOSM.app?
But no, this wouldn't work on Linux. open(1) is a Mac OS X-specific
application, the usual way to do this on Linux is to look at your
argv[0] and start that with your argv[1..*] arguments.
However with Java programs that wouldn't work since you need to worry
about calling the right JVM and using the arguments to the JVM that
were used to start the current program.
I'm not familiar enough with the JVM but doesn't it support reloading
itself with the current environment/arguments and the currently loaded
.jar? Then this could probably be implemented portably.
There's also probably prior art on this, check out

In my view that's not worth jumping through hoops to make it work on all platforms. Better would be if there was a way to reload plugins without having to restart JOSM.
