[udig-devel] An installer for OSX to try out

[Tore Halset]

Hello.

I just tried the installer. It worked, but I have some comments.

Why do we need an installer on OS X? Does the installer need to  
install something in some other place? I am pretty happy about  
download a zip or dmg and just drag the application to where I want  
it. And then just delete application when I want to remove it.

Does JAI stuff need to be installed in .../Java/Extensions? I think it  
would be cleaner to keep it inside the uDig directory and alter the  
classpath or whatever to include it.

In the "Select Installation Packages" view, I clicked one of the 3  
lines. It worked, but is was kind of non-macish that the small window  
with the 3 lines got even smaller. See the attached screenshot.

Regards,
  - Tore.
