InstallApacheFlex - with updated License screen
Team,
I have updated the InstallApacheFlex app to include the license text and
urls for each of the installed components. I am also enforcing that the
user explicitly agree to all the licenses before proceeding to
installation.
The code is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/utilities/tags/RC6 (as well
as in the trunk)
Please check out the code and give me your feedback. Once folks are happy
with the the updated UI, we will go ahead and create a new Release
Candidate.
Thanks,
Om

OK, I am happy with that screen. I am now running the rest of the installer
just in case, which will take a while.

Sounds good to me. Fixed in trunk.

OK, how about something like:
"This installer will download software from multiple sites with various
license agreements. Please click on each item on the left, read the license
and confirm that you agree to the terms of each license."

I am more inclined towards rewording the blurb. Apache Flex SDK is one of
the components we are installing and it makes sense to prompt users to
explicitly agree to the Apache license. I dont see it being any different
than the other components we are installing, in this regard.

Visually, nothing else has changed in the other screens, but code-wise -
I've changed up quite a bit of the logic that takes care of the
installation of components.

Hi Om,
Thanks for putting in all this work. I built the trunk and ran the DMG. I
have a few comments:
When you first get to the licensing screen, it says:
"These components have license agreements other than Apache License V2."
But the very first thing in the list on the left is "Apache Flex SDK" which
is ALV2.
We could reword that first blurb, but I think that the "Apache Flex SDK"
option doesn't need to be there? Other Apache installs don't require
acceptance of the license?
I didn't go past that screen, but I assume nothing else changed? The links
to the licenses for AIR SDK and PlayerGlobal look right to me.

Great! I have fixed the capitalization of SWFObject (in Trunk).
If there are no no immediate blocking issues, we will push out RC6 soon.
I have created a task in JIRA for the UI issue [1]

I agree that it is not the best UI. I am open to suggestions on improving
the look and feel. I was thinking mabye move the checkbox (I agree,
Install) to right next to the license link. That would reduce the
number/amount of mouse movements.

Re: InstallApacheFlex - with updated License screen

Om,
The RC6 tag is now old as I discovered.
I think the license text changes look ok. The SwfObject component in the
list should be SWFObject since that is it's name and that is what is in
the license text.
The license agreement ui feels unnatural to me but it's ok for now. The
red boxes on the left look like checkboxes to me and it always takes me
awhile to remember I can't click them but have to check the "I Agree,
Install" box at the bottom. I click on a component, read the license, and
then want to check the red box to make it green.
Note sure why but the bottom of the install log dialog has a tiny piece of
the logo on the bottom.
