Hi:
I will be sending bugs as I try them out. I will not focus on new
features at this point. Furthemore my 2 cents in terms of new feature
is UserInput Panel. I think thats the most critical one. Anyway here
are my first bug report. I am sure you are probably aware of them but
here we go..
Test Enviornment:
Debian Linux 2.6, Java 1.5
- I didn't see any options for Summary Pannel
- I think one shouldn't be able to move forward if there are no
"install panel" but if one is making a simple "admin tool" like start
tomcat, stop Apache, Stop mysql etc, in that regards its not a bug.
- Function "Add Packs" don't do any validation i.e. one could just
press the OK without entering anything.
- If the compilation returns error you should be able to go back and re-compile.
- The Add-Pack, OS option : I think it would be a good idea to have
"checkboxes" instead of pull down menu. I.e. Packname - XYZ applicable
for OS x MAC x WIN x Unix
etc..
- We should have a recompile option box. For example in my case it was
a file missing or in the wrong place I could have just move the
desired file and press re-compile.
- Files in Pack : Same as above when it comes to OS option should be checkboxes.
- OS option is a must for "executable files" just like the way you
have done "Parsable files" but here you might want to have a Pull down
menu as both of this case, Parsable and Executable file every OS will
act differently no?
- When I went back and remove some previously selected pannels I come
back to a panel that I just deleted. However that panel in my case
licensepanel is not on the vertical panel list.
- There should be a "quit" button and a option to save the current
work. Maybe create a new installer should start off with what
filename.xml to save and where to save this way you can create the
/res /images etc catalog and move necessary files there i.e. GPL lic.
template.
As I said some of this you already know, and my knowledge of izpack is
about a week. But I will keep feeding in bugs/wishes as I find them.
Cheers
