[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4121) Run DevSuite Installer with Elevated privileges on Mac OSX

Run DevSuite Installer with Elevated privileges on Mac OSX ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-4121 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4121 Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: platform-installer Affects Versions: 10.2.0.AM2 Environment: Mac OS X Reporter: Denis Golovin Assignee: Denis Golovin Priority: Critical Fix For: 11.0.0.AM2 Attachments: DevSuite.zip During installation PATH environment variable should be updated. For example to make permanent changes for PATH variable /etc/paths file should be modified and that requires administrative privileges. For Alpha release we could be running installer with sudo {code}sudo open DevSuite.app{code} Another option to investigate is using AppleScript and run the same shell script above with elevated privileges like this {code}do shell script «open DevSuite.app» with administrator privileges{code} that would trigger standard UI Dialog requesting user login/password with administrative privileges. This should be included int DevSuite.app package configuration after it is assembled by electron packages.
