[izpack-devel] Eclispe configuration problem?

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Michael,
be aware that you have often to rebuild IzPack if you debug it
in eclipse.
You use two sets of class files. One from install.jar and one 
given by the sources used by eclipse. The used panel classes will
be most resolved from the sources, but not base classes etc.

OK, that is not your problem in the moment.
There is something wrong in your environment.
To debug an installation you have to add the install.jar
as external jar in the eclipse properties for debugging.
The "Classpath" page in the "Debug" dialog.
Add install.jar to the "User Entries" UNDER default classpath
(with the sources; else it will most not stop at breakpoints).

There is no need to add %IZPACK_HOME%\lib\uninstall*.jar; it is
need for packaging (compiling the installation) not for installation
because the jar file have to be in your install.jar. Look into
(may be with WinZip or TotalComander), there have to be an entry
/res/IzPack.uninstaller.
Question is, why eclipse do not find it...
Unfortunately I am out of office in 2 minutes and I am back again
next Wednesday. 
Happy debugging... anyhow it works :-)
I take my description for debugging (the one from the IzPack docu) 
every ~ two month and create a new debugging project. 
Normally no problems.
May be debug the methods which loads the IzPack.uninstaller. Will
be good for you to understand IzPack better...

Next step is debugging the native code of IzPack. That's really
nice... 
For it only a description in German exist on my box.

Cheers 

Klaus
