Re: [jruby-dev] JRuby Installer

I had tried out one of the windows installer and a mac installer. They've done some nice work on these to incorporate a JRuby theme. Other than that, I didn't notice any significantly differences. I suppose the mac installer took quite a bit longer than I would have liked, but not a big

This is awesome, thank you. I don't know if I'll have a chance to look at it until I'm back in the states, but hopefully others can try them out. Others: Try them out :) On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 7:37 PM, Daniel Lopez wrote: > Hi > > Please find below some quick proof of concepts we have created fo

Hi Please find below some quick proof of concepts we have created for Linux, Windows and Mac. They still need to be improved, but you get the idea of what can be done with Installbuilder. The installations are self-contained and by executing jrubyconsole you can have an environment properly setup

Re: [jruby-dev] JRuby Installer

Yeah, having looked at both, the "Windows" look is obviously ok for Windows and probably ok for Linux (since Linux installers usually look and feel like ass anyway), but for OS X having a real pkg installer would be best. Here's another topic for discussion...when installing JRuby in a global loca

Re: [jruby-dev] JRuby Installer

I've been pretty unimpressed with the OSX versions of both installers under consideration. Would it have been too hard to wire up PackageMaker? An OSX installer should look and smell like other OSX installers, not a reskinned Windows installer :( -- Yehuda On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Micah Ma

Just to be clear I didn't purchase Install4j. I just asked for a free open source license. So it's no sweat off my back if you choose not to use it. I've been meaning to chip in on JRuby for a while. I'm just happy to help. The installers I built with Install4j are just quick stab,

Re: [jruby-dev] JRuby Installer

Since Micah already purchased and built an installer...maybe we just point people to both of them? I think Install4J is more focused on Windows, is that correct? Both options sound really great...so I don't know how to choose which one to make the "official" installer. My key points would be: 1.

Hi Micah, Thanks, I was not aware of your work. We are happy with whatever option you choose, of course. We already have JRuby-based projects going on, so we will keep maintaining our current installers in any case. I will be sending a separate email shortly answering some of the original question

Re: [jruby-dev] JRuby Installer

That's quite an offer Daniel made. That's great that BitRock would be willing to build and maintain the installer. I have no affiliation with ej technologies so I don't really care what the outcome of this discussion is. But for what it's worth, I did acquire an Install4J license donated

Of course we would have to strip out Glassfish, MySQL etc. from the package, since Bitnami provides a complete stack. Nonetheless, it would provide a good, speed base for the installer in my opinion. On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Martin Gajdos wrote: > I just discovered a JRuby Stack install

I've had a good experience using Install4J to build installers for Limelight. Although I've only used it a little bit, I'm told that it's among the best installer options for Java. * You configure Install4J once and it'll pop out installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux in one build. Quite
