[JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBDS-1591) JBDS Installer as a Native Mac OS X Application

JBDS Installer as a Native Mac OS X Application
-----------------------------------------------
Key: JBDS-1591
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1591
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 4.0.0.GA
Environment: Mac OS X
Reporter: Martin Malina
This is an enhancement for your consideration. Feel free to reject it.
Currently, all the installers of JBDS for Mac OS X and other platforms are just plain jar files which you launch either with "java -jar" or by double clicking if the OS supports this.
When you launch the jar, the icon that appears in the Dock is just a default app icon. It would be possible to bundle the installer on the Mac so that it would be a native Mac OS X app called e.g. "JBDS 4 Installer.app".
The instructions on how to achieve this are described here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JavaLP/JavaToMac3/
I just tried it and it's easy.
I think it would be easy to implement this in the building process. The benefit would be an installer with our custom icon in the Dock and also on the installer itself - i.e. in Finder.

[JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBDS-1609) Installer should check system prerequisites and warn user if they are not fullfilled

Installer should check system prerequisites and warn user if they are not fullfilled
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBDS-1609
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1609
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 4.0.0.GA
Reporter: Jiri Peterka
To prevent insufficient machine parameters or setting installer should do basic check for some parameters like:
- memory amount
- maximum open file limit
- maximum thread count limit
- internet connection
- others reasonable criteria should be added here
If these criteria aren't met, installer should display add warning page before further installation saying that requirements aren't satisfied and tools may not work properly. Reason for this is that sometimes JBDS is used in very strict environment (typically training rooms, universities, etc where many system resources are limited or blocked) but user isn't warned and after install user can see after that lots of runtime errors and got bad feeling about the tool. This should be avoided and user should be at least warn that he is running JBDS in inappropriate environment.
