freenet-java-webinstall.exe still bundled with J2RE 1.4.1_03??

I received an email asking for help with the "Could not find the Main class"
error, in which they happened to mention that they were using the version of
Java that came with the bundled webinstaller .. j2re1.4.1_03!

Is this still the bundled version?? I seem to remember posts some time ago about
updating it to 1.5, but perhaps it never actually happened. If not it needs to
ASAP, apart from the fact that 1.4.1_03 is slower and buggier it has a serious
applet engine exploit! As a stopgap if this can't be done quickly, I would
propose removing the bundled installer link temporarily.

I would verify this myself, but due to the f? <at> $ing Soureforge throttling issue
the webinstaller download ETA is about 10 hours from now ...

In fact it appears to be impossible to download the Java bundled webinstaller at
all without a download manager, it gets killed before it has time to finish ...

Background downloading of large container

While thinking about Darknets and their use, I thought
it would be great to add a background download manager built-in freenet.

It would be useful for large or hard to find containers.

Also, using subscription, a darknet could automaticaly mirror/update certain files or chunks(spreed
across the darknet) for faster access.

Implementing a distributed database and webcrawler with full anonymous searches for version 1.0 would
make freenet
more user friendly.

We will have a download manager backend in Freenet. It will be
accessible via FCP, fproxy will be able to add files to it, and it will
be able to retry infinitely including across reboots if the user wants
to store the data, and it will be able to save directly to disk, or
cache the data until the user or client specifies where they want to put
it.

Now, as far as using it for hard-to-find non-splitfile content... Hmmm!

Hmmm!

Okay, the basic idea here is:
- The idea that you would start a fetch for a file that you can't get
  fproxy to fetch.
- The background download manager would then retry indefinitely, along
  with all the other queued content, rotating, and subject to rate
  limiting of some sort.
- We could include the next editions of updatable sites in this system,
  automatically.
- When it did fetch it, it would notify you somehow. An RSS feed, an

How, precisely, do we build a new webinstaller-with-bundled-java? Or is
this the regular webinstaller that is downloading an old version of
java?

Contrib/wininstall/freenet-java.nsi does it, but I haven't had chance to figure
out how or get it to work yet. And yes, the poster definetely was using the
embedded version (I told them to use the latest Java and the normal webinstaller
which fixed their "can't find the main class" issue.)

OK, I fixed it :)  I now have a freenet-Java-Webinstall.exe bundled with J2SE
1.5.0_5. I would put it up on the web somewhere but my webspace is broken and I
don't exactly trust free putfile services for something like this, I can email
it to some project person if they can accept a ~15MB file.

I just tested it on an XP SP2 box and it worked flawlessly first time. Well,
about as flawlessly as the winstaller has ever worked ;) yet *another* bug is
that it appears to always download seednodes.ref even if you tell it not to,
 sigh.

Alternatively it might be easier / ease your paranoia to build it yourself;
neccessary steps, as far as I remember them :

- Get Contrib tree as usual, do what HowToMakeInstalls.txt says and IIRC I also
had to put UpdateSnapshot.exe in Contrib/wininstall/update
- Get latest windows Java (full offline version!) from www.java.com, put in
wininstall dir
- Edit JAVAINSTALLER line in freenet-java.nsi to match JRE exe name, e.g :
!define JAVAINSTALLER jre-1_5_0_05-windows-i586-p.exe
- makensis freenet-java.nsi

- Edit freenet-java.nsi to include the freenet-modern.nsi, not the old 
freenet.nsi
- Take out the JAVAINSTALLER define in freenet-modern.nsi; this needs cleaning
properly, it's for now-useless functionality (downloading the latest naked,
unbundled JRE from snapshots, it's not been there for ages and I believe can't
be for licensing reasons)

> - makensis freenet-java.nsi

Also, I've got bzip2 support in now for compressed seednode download :)  It
needs a little cleanup and testing, but seems to work.

In other news, the SourceForge throttling issue continues to be a problem but
at least it seems to be reliably bypassed by cancelling a slow file download,
then saying yes to the "do you want to retry" box. The retry should go at
normal speed.
