Building Kepler Installers

How to build Kepler installers from the build system

These notes are about building installers using the Kepler-2.x build system.  See Building Kepler 1.0 for instructions on building installers for Kepler 1.0.

  1. Download and build the development version of Kepler.  See the Build System Instructions. The top-level directory ("src") and the kepler directory ("kepler") may have any name.
    mkdir src
cd src
mkdir kepler
cd kepler
svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/build-area
cd build-area
ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler
ant clean-cache
ant eclipse
  2. Download Launch4J.
  3. Install launch4j so that it is in a directory adjacent to the kepler directory.  "ls src" should yield:
    kepler      launch4j
  4. In the kepler/build-area directory, run 
    ant installer

Troubleshooting

If you get 
build-area/build.xml:350: The following error occurred while executing this line:
build-area/build.xml:416: net.sf.launch4j.BuilderException: Icon doesn't exist.*
Then "look in build-area/installer/launch-kepler.xml or launch-installer.xml. Check that the path to the icon specified exists."
