Analysis

Overview

The main goal of this group of tasks is to design and create prototypes of the following deployment related things:

• Run the application through applet
• Windows, Mac and may be linux installers of Sophie 2
• Zip with the application uploaded on the Hudson build server

And to optimize(design):

• Java Web Start resource management

Task requirements

• Create two pages -
  • Related to the applet/jws design and links with their tickets:
    • Application to Applet should be researched and the results should be described in the page as well as the applet design
    • JWS should be designed to create permanent directory in the file system where config files can be stored
    • All related tickets should be linked and if there is need for new ones they should be created
  • About the installers for the different OSes and links with their tickets:
    • include assembly plugin fixing steps in the design.
    • write the steps in which zip distribution in hudson will be created.
    • think about making sophie installer under different OSes. Research different libaries and write down the results.

• Implement:
  • Prototype with running applet which starts felix and show part of Sophie
  • Distribution zip in the hudson server which is created by hudson in period of time.
  • different packages with the distribution(optional: one installer) - zip, deb, rpm, dmg

Task result

• Wiki page with stable design of the upper things.
• Separation of the tasks to smaller tasks(tickets).
• Applet prototype
• Hudson download zip distrubition
• Different distribution packages.

Implementation idea

• For the applet:
  • Create new main class which extends applet and starts felix in this applet. Use sophie2.org server for deployment.
• For JWS:
  • Research java web start sandbox
• For hudson zip:
  • optimize the assembly plugin to embed files in the distribution and create hudson job for running the assembly maven goal.

How to demo

• Show the running java web start and applet on sophie2.org/jws and sophie2.org/applet-demo
• Download the distribution zip from hudson and run Sophie 2 from there
• Show the created different OS packages.
