[jira] Closed: (UIMA-204) Plugin builds have zip files with extra top level directories

["Marshall Schor (JIRA)" <ui...@incubator.apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-204?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marshall Schor closed UIMA-204.
-------------------------------


WinZip behaves the same.  What I do is (a) doubleclick the zip file - it runs the unzipper, and yes, it creates a new dir of the same name in the current dir. Then (b) I drag/drop the dir into the Eclipse plugin folder.  Of course, this fails.  What I need to do is open the generated dir, find the same dir there, and drag/drop that.

You make good points though, so I'll try and remember to do this in the future :-)

> If you unzip the target plugin zip file, you get something which looks like a plugin folder.  But it actually contains another folder of exactly the same name which is the real plugin folder.  This makes the normal action of unzipping the zip file and installing the resulting folder into the Eclipse plugin directory not work.  
> Of course, this may go away if we don't use zip packaging at all for plugins... (see UIMA-203)

Try Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/index.htm).  It looks a bit 
old-fashioned, but doesn't have its equal for file compression and 
decompression (on Windows).  I use it as an explorer replacement.
