It will probably mostly work, and there will probably be some problem spots too. You should plan for a bit of manual fixup. (ie don't do it on a critical system that will need to be used at once) However since jpp 1.5 won't change anymore you will have to upgrade sooner or later, and it shouldn't be overly hard to do either. The only thing I'm not sure of is if it's easier to upgrade of remove all jpp 1.5 packages and install 1.6 from scratch. That probably depend on your package set. If you can wait a little it's probably worth doing a FC4 upgrade first. Regards, -- -- Nicolas Mailhot

Best practices for packaging Web applications?
If I wanted to create an RPM that had a web application in it, designed to be deployed into a JPackage-provided Servlet 2.4-compliant container, what would be the best way to go about doing this? I'm not aware of any generic way to do this within JPackage. Maybe there should be one, maybe not, we could probably debate that endlessly. It's clear that if you wanted to focus on Tomcat 5 integration, you could package your web applications in the same way that tomcat5-webapps are packaged, in exploded-WAR-file format. I guess you could package the war file itself with some documentation, and let the user sort it out, or have some automagical RPM post-install scripts that tried to do the right thing. What have other people done to solve this problem? -- -- Richard Bullington-McGuire, Managing Partner, PKR Internet, LLC Email: rbulling@...

The problem is very similar to this one: "If I want to create an RPM that has a jar file in it, designed to be run in a JPackage-provided JVM, what would be the best way to go about doing this?" I believe it can be solved in similar fashion. > I'm not aware of any generic way to do this within JPackage. Maybe there should be > one, maybe not, we could probably debate that endlessly. Of course there are complicating factors: webapps usually have to have either its own data directory or database schema/storage. It may also require the editing of certain servlet container specific configuration files, such as adding users or roles to Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml file. > It's clear that if you wanted to focus on Tomcat 5 integration, you could > package your web applications in the same way that tomcat5-webapps are > packaged, in exploded-WAR-file format. One complicating factor are jar files that live in the WEB-INF/lib directory. If I read the JPackage philosophy correctly, putting(Continue reading)

Re: Eclipse 3.0.2 cvs error
For what it is worth: I downloaded the 3.0.2 zip file for eclipse, installed it in a directory and ran it. It worked ok. No errors with cvs. I compared the cvs.jar file included with the jpackage version of eclipse with the jar file included in the zip file from eclipse.org and found them to be slightly different in size. I replaced the cvs.jar in the jpackage distribution with the other cvs.jar file (straight from eclipse). The cvs features in eclipse now seem to work. I also noticed directories in the jpackage distribution which are not in the distribution from eclipse. For example, org.eclipse.team.cvs.core_3.0.2 is in the jpackage distribution but not in the original distribution. Are these differences in file sizes and additional directory structures necessary in the jpackage version of eclipse?
