New bundler in 8u20 question...

[Tony Anecito]

Thanks Danno I do not use netbeans just Ant script for my build. So any way to set the javaFX Deploy ant script to tell the pkg file to deploy to the applications folder?

Thanks Again,
-Tony

Thanks Danno I figured there might be new arguments. And also thanks for working on making it easier for all of us.

This is the “SystemWide” argument, which IIRC netbeans sets to false by default, this is NetBeans doing and not the packager.  I still don’t understand why they invert that default.  And it’s a pain to configure.

On your project, RMC and select properties.  Go to build/deployment and turn on the advanced JavaFX properties.  There is a scary dialog about changing the project files format.  Save a backup first.

Now it re-loads the project.  Go to the same dialog and about 2/3 of the way down is a checkbox “Install Permanently,” check it.

If you use the CLI or the Ant files w/o NetBeans help it is set to system wide by default, it is the JavaFX project (which makes sensible decisions for a webstart-centric app) that makes things confusing.
