How to distribute JPhotoTagger

A JPhotoTagger distribution consists of:

• A platform independend ZIP file containing JPhotoTagger's JAR files, PDF manual, external scripts etc. The PDF manual will be created automatically from JPhotoTagger's internal HTML help pages.
• A Windows setup (EXE) file, which contains the same content as the ZIP file and installs JPhotoTagger (integrates it into the software control panel and provides an unistall routine)
• Up to date version information file jphototagger-version.txt; JPhotoTagger's auto update checks it for newer versions
• Up to date download web page containing JPhotoTagger's current version and the current date in the HTML head. A HTML index page will be created, linking to JPhotoTagger's internal HTML help pages, which will be transferred to the web site along with the HTML help pages.
• Up to date .htaccess file, which redirects from the download web page to the current download location

Everything is done automatically through the Ant file distribute.xml within the repository root, subdirectory DeveloperSupport/scripts. Each task can be executed separately by calling an appropriate Ant target or completely by the 0-all target.

Some targets reading private properties from property files in DeveloperSupport/conf, which may differ from system to system and excluded from version control. They must exist and containing the key value pairs as described below:

• sourceforge.properties with the keys username and password (login data, not very secure, restrict access!)
• innosetup.properties with the key compil32.exe (file path to Inno Setup compiler, e.g. C:\\Program Files\\InnoSetup\\Compil32.exe)
• website.properties with the keys server (JPhotoTagger's web site server), user and pass (login data, not very secure, restrict access!)

To create the Windows setup EXE file, Inno Setup is required.

If all files are created or modified, they will be uploaded to the correct places, currently the ZIP and setup EXE file to Google Code and the other files to JPhotoTagger.
