SnipSnap Web Start && single click jar


Hi,

another little step towards ease of use: 
http://snipsnap.org/static/javaws/snipsnap.jnlp

A Webstart version of the latest stable code which contains everything 
and installs by just clicking on the link.
To get it running I had to move the conf/server.conf to java.util.prefs 
which is a platform independent way of storing preferences. Instead of 
using the jvm working dir for storing the applications it now uses the 
users home dir.

And its even simpler than that. No need to remember the URL from the 
console log. It will open a browser window for you to carry on with the 
setup. I tested it on Windows and MacOS X and support is there for 
Freebsd, Linux and Solaris Sparc.

To get all this running I modified the build process so it builds a 
single jar (9MB :() which can be run by just clicking on it. This is 
not suitable in a server environment but should suffice for most home 
users.

Have fun,

	Leo.
