[udig-devel] Turning the SDK into an EXE

Tue Sep 25 06:58:54 PDT 2007

So here's another strategy since you're having so much difficulty.   
This is a hack and should be used only if you're on a deadline

1. Export your plugins.
2. Get a uDig
3. Add the plugins to the uDig.
4. Go into the plugins directory of uDig
5. Unpack net.refractions.udig_1.1.0
6.  Replace splash.bmp with your splash screen,
7.  Update the plugin.properties so it has you're product's name,  
provider name and about text
8.  jar it back up.

now you can run the nsis script to build your .exe.

For the product:
Change the produce from plugins -> features
go to configuration tab
add net.refraction.udig
	org.eclipse.rcp
	org.eclipse.rcp.nl (for translations)

Export that.  It should export fine.

Make sure you do a synchronize and run before exporting to test.
