Problem with custom panes and jar packing
Hi
I am new to writing custom code panels to IntallAnywhere. So I downloaded some examples from acressos site, namely ChooseInstallDrive.
http://www.acresso.com/webdocuments/Downloads/ChooseInstallDrive.zip
I got it up and running in no time no problems whatsoever. However when I made some modifications to .ChooseInstall
Drive.java file, then things got a bit more difficult. I was able to compile it easily with javac
C:\Documents and Settings\jyr\Desktop\InstallAnywhereSamples>javac ChooseInstallDrive.java
Note: ChooseInstallDrive.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
It did give some warnings but it did compile. I got my class file. Next I created a jar file.
C:\Documents and Settings\jyr\Desktop\InstallAnywhereSamples>jar -cvfM ChooseInstallDrive.jar "C:\Documents and Settings\jyr\Desktop\InstallAnywhereSamples\ChooseInstallDrive.class"
adding: C:/Documents and Settings/jyr/Desktop/InstallAnywhereSamples/ChooseInsta
llDrive.class(in = 4062) (out= 2189)(deflated 46%)
Ok I got the jar file but the panel does not work with this jar-file anymore. I even tried to compile the exact original ChooseInstallDrive.java but with same results. Installer just skips whole custom code panel. I might have forgotten to add some files to that jar package but what?
Thanks in advance

If the version you've compiled your custom code does not match the version you bundle in your installer (for example: if you compiled it with Java 1.6 but you bundle Java 1.5 then the custom code cannot be executed because of the generated bytecode incompatibilities).

Hi
I downgraded my java compiler to JRE 1.6.0_02 but no luck. Same results. Could someone post a brief instructions and sample code how to compile and add custom panels to projects please

Have you check the relevant section of the manual, there is a whole chapter that covers custom code!

Hi
Thanks. I got it finally working. Thank you. This might have been a issue with java packing I needed to pack the directory structure as well.
This structure was not included in the zip file directly however it was included in the jar-file.
