Custom JRE help?

[Greg Brown]

Hi all,

I meant to respond to this question when it was posted but it fell off my radar:

I have been working on an Ant task that will co-bundle a JRE with a Java application. It is still in development, but it is usable. The source code is here:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/jdk/file/tip/src/macosx/bundle/

Running "ant" will compile the task to appbundler/bin/appbundler-1.0.jar. Put this in your Ant lib directory (e.g. ~/bin/apache-ant-1.8.2/lib).

You'll need to declare the task in your build script in order to use it. See the test-hello and test-swingset targets in build.xml for an example.

Hope this helps,
Greg
