of inconsistent-with-one-another-and-with-getdown.txt-and-limitation-ridden 'properties' and 'app_properties' mechanisms from ancient history. Unfortunately, Sun in their infinite wisdom decided that being able to enumerate applet parameters was "not doing it right" and provided no mechanism for doing so. So we have to use annoying increasing int suffixes. Use like so: <object ..> <param name="jvmarg0" value="-Xmx256M"/> <param name="jvmarg1" value="-Danswer=42"/> <param name="jvmarg2" value="-Dtrix=for kids"/> <param name="jvmarg3" value="-Dfoodir=%APPDIR%"/> <param name="apparg0" value="--username"/> <param name="apparg1" value="elvis"/> </object>
What is it? ----------- Getdown (yes, it's the funky stuff) aims to provide a system for downloading and installing a collection of files on a user's machine and upgrading those files as needed. Though just any collection of files would do, Getdown is mainly intended for the distribution and maintenance of the collection of files that make up an application. See the Google Code project for documentation and other information: http://code.google.com/p/getdown Building -------- Getdown is built with Maven in the standard ways. Invoke the following commands, for fun and profit: % mvn compile # builds the classes % mvn test # builds and runs the unit tests % mvn package # builds and creates jar file % mvn install # builds, jars and installs in your local Maven repository
