Re: Determine OpenWebstart version from launched app

Thanks for the info.
We told our clients already for more than a year to update to the latest OpenWebstart and use update checks.
Unfortunately they don't listen to us and even some still use Oracle JDK8 and Oracle webstart :(

Re: Determine OpenWebstart version from launched app

From your snippet, how das Install4JUtils know to look into the OpenWebstart stage1 log?
Client machines could have multiple applications installed with Install4J, no?

We have some clients which still use an older Version of OpenWebstart (prior 1.9.1) which had issues with JDK21.
Next year we ...

Determine OpenWebstart version from launched app

All,

is it possible to determine the OpenWebstart version from the Java program which is launched by OpenWebstart?
We can see that there are a few environment variable which start with "ows." but I can't see any that show the OpenWebstart version.

Thanks,
-Marcus

Thanks for the info.
Since I added the extra params to all architecture, the problem was solved that way :)

Thanks for looking into this.

App not starting with Java21 - JarIndex not found

All,

we are testing our application with Java21 and realized that it does not start with OpenWebstart 1.8 and Temurin 21.
Here is the error from the log:

Re: OpenWebstart on Mac OSX and Temurin17; --add-exports Problem

The problem was that my Intel based Mac picked up the parameters from <resources arch="x86"> even though it is a "x86_64" architecture.
Here is a snippet of the NOT working file.


<resources arch="x86">

Re: OpenWebstart on Mac OSX and Temurin17; --add-exports Problem

Hi guys, thanks for your feedback.

When testing with Oracle JDK17, I realized that it did not work either and took a deeper look when comparing the 2 logfiles.
I realized that not all "-add-exports=..." that we had defined showed up when using Mac, but they did with Windows.

We are using the JNLP ...

OpenWebstart on Mac OSX and Temurin17; --add-exports Problem

We have an issue using latest OpenWebstart version on Mac OSX with Temurin17.
For our Swing Look&Feel we add multiple "--add-exports" and "--add-reads" to the JNLP file which is working fine with Windows and Temurin17.
But on Mac OSX it looks like that Temurin17 is not using those parameters.

The ...
