Analysis

Overview

• The app plug-in is the main plug-in of Sophie 2.0.
• It actually starts the application.
• It is used in all editions of Sophie 2.0.
• It is responsible for configuration reading and loading of other parts of the application.

Task requirements

In this revision we must make the launcher module more useful. This includes:

• Merging JavaWebStartMain and Main classes in the org.sophie2.launcher module. Currently, there are 2 main classes - the JWS and the original one. JavaWebStartMain is a slightly modified version of Main, so it would be no difficulty to merge the 2 files. A little research is needed here (see Related - it could be helpful).
• Centralizing the Fake launchers (FakeAuthor and FakeServer). The 2 editions now have separate Fake launchers, which could be merged into one. See implementation idea.
• Decide if it is a good idea to put the FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES from org.sophie2.launcher.Main in a separate file - this way the code will look better.

Task result

Source code.

Implementation idea

Create a FakeMain.java class in org.sophie2.launcher module, which takes an argument - the concrete edition, and launches it similar to the existent fake launchers.

How to demo

• Launch the FakeAuthor and FakeServer configurations
• Launch the TrueAuthor, TrueServer and JWS configurations.

Design

Merging JavaWebStartMain and Main:

• find the differences between the two files
  • the only difference is in the argument reading and the bundes string building.
• an argument must be given in order the method to decide what to do.
• the .jnlp must be reconfigured to run the new Main method with an appropriate argument
• the TrueAuthor and TrueServer configurations must be reconfigured.
  

Merging FakeAuthorMain and FakeServerMain:

• create FakeMain.java in org.sophie2.launcher. It will have the same structure as FakeAuthorMain and FakeServerMain; the body of main() will read the Args[0] parameter and according to it will decide which arguments to pass to the FakeModuleRegistry.start() method. Possible values of the argument: "Author" / "Server"
• Change the main classes in the corresponding launch configurations.
• Delete the old launchers, since they are not needed anymore.
  

In the org.sophie2.launcher.Main:

• Replace the huge string with a text file and put it into the resources directory (select its name first).

In the org.sophie2.launcher.FakeMain:

• add a check for assertions enabled, like in org.sophie2.launcher.Main
• add a logger initializing
  • think out for the log4j configuration files.
