configurable installer patch
Hi,
Attached is a patch that allows installation of applications from file
structures other then packaged sar-file. Plus I've included _prototype_
of an installer that installs applications directly from Eclipse
workspace. How to apply, install and test
1. Apply attached patch and rebuild phoenix
2. I assume that you are using eclipse 2.0 and your workspace is
location is c:\temp\eclipse.workspace
3. Start eclipse, goto Window->Preferences->Java->Classpath_variables
and add new variable PHONIX_HOME and point to your phoenix directory. It
is used to locate phoenix libraries.
4. In eclipse, create two java projects phoenix-demo-app and
phoenix-demo-blocks. Expand attached phoenix-demo.zip somewhere and
inport projects from corresponding directories (i.e. phoenix-demo-app
from zip:phoenix-demo-app and phoenix-demo-blocks from
zip:phoenix-demo-blocks). It is important that both project were located
inside eclipse workspace.
5. Copy attached eclipse-deployer.jar into $PHOENIX_HOME/bin/lib
6. Edit $PHOENIX_HOME/conf/kernel.xml, replace Installer with
<component role="org.apache.avalon.phoenix.interfaces.Installer"
class="com.thinkdynamics.phoenix.components.installer.EclipseInstaller"
logger="installer">
<eclipse-workspace>file:///c:/temp/eclipse.workspace/</eclipse-workspace>
</component>
7. Start phoenix with
run --application=c:\temp\eclipse.workspace\phoenix-demo-app
A word of disclaimer: eclipse-deployer.jar is a prototype so do not take
it too seriously. It is neither robust, feature complete implementation
nor an example of qaulity java code.

Great idea. Something we have been planning to do for ages. We even have a
coponent in excalibur (jakarta-avalon-excalibur/monitor) that we planned to
do it with. We never got around to actually doing it though. I would love to
see it done though.

Peter,
Are you still planning to commit configurable installer patched or plans
have changed?

Right :)
There was an eclipse-related jar that you had attached to the msg with the
non-eclipse-specific diff.

Eclipse is not an issue here and the patch (configurable-installer.diff)
has nothing to do with it. In order to test the patch you could, for
example, write ExpandedSarInstaller.
Actually, I have another idea that is related to this configurable
install stuff. Currently, Embedder is responsible for scanning apps/ dir
and/or command line for applications to be deployed. Why do not we
introduce a separate deployment scanner (the term borrowed from jboss)?
It seems to fit nicely into your "Separation of Concerns" concept and
provides some extra flexibility.

I'm a fellow IDEA junkie.. I downloaded Eclipse 2.0 but couldn't get it going
on my debian machine.
I plan to test and commit the non-eclipse portions of the patch this week.
Once IDEA 3.0 comes out it I might make a plugin for it.

I would like to see this committed but don't run Eclipse (IDEA is soooo good)
- so does any other committer use eclipse? If not I will try to have a play
sometime this week.
