[ANNOUNCE] Binary Installer for Jetspeed M1

Well, I finally got the binary installer for J2 M1 finished, here is a 
temporary link: http://www.binary-designs.net/downloads.html.  The 
download takes a little time to start but fairly quick once it does.

The only requirements are that you have a compatible version of the JDK 
1.4.2, installed, see: 
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/PrefsClassloaderIssuesAndSdk14 
for mor info.

It is a little rough and needs some cleaning and tweaking but it's a 
start ;)

Have fun!

Honestly, I think all of these issue stem from platform idiosyncracies 
as both you Ate appear to be running windows and I am running under linux.

I doubt the ANT_HOME is the issue, as I didn't see any issues when 
running the install.

I think the cause of the issue here is either the escaping of the jdbc 
url or possibly the driver not being added to the classpath.  I am 
leaning towards the first.

Hmmm.  When Ant fails, I actually get prompt from the installer saying 
an error has occured and do I want to continue.

I can confirm this problem. I didn't find any logfile but the error I got on the
screen was:
   Invalid implementation version between Ant core and Ant optional tasks.
   core    : 1.6.2
   optional: 1.6.0
I haven't tried to update my own Ant version yet so this is how far I got.
Nonetheless, this already really looks good.
Great work!

Hi Scott,

It's looking good, but as you were expecting I had a few problems with it :

- First it seem to require some version of Ant to do the installation, 
or maybe there is a conflict when somebody already has an existing 
ANT_HOME variable defined. Basically I updated my Ant version from 1.6 
to 1.6.2 and it seemed to go further.
- I had problems with getting my MySQL driver using by the Ant script, 
not entirely sure what's going on there. Here is the Ant script log :
Buildfile: c:\j2\build.xml

install:

build.db:

db.execute:
     [echo] Execing SQL: C:\j2/sql/mysql/phase3ojb-schema.sql
     [echo] C:\temp\mysql-connector-java-3.0.10-stable-bin.jar

BUILD FAILED
C:\j2\build.xml:9: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\j2\build.xml:16: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\j2\build.xml:38: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable Driver for 
jdbc\:mysql\://localhost/jetspeed?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8

Total time: 0 seconds

- Although I had a failure in the Ant execution, I still got a message 
telling me the installation had completed successfully. Can you retrieve 
the execution result of the Ant script ?

Don't let this drag you down, I think this is really great, and it will 
make J2 install a lot easier to customize. Also while I'm on the 
subject, what would be great is to have "predefined" settings for 
databases, so that the user would first select the DB type, and then it 
would present the screen with all the parameters for the datasource, 
already filled in with the default values for the database. Let me know 
how I can help !

cheers,
  Serge...
