[izpack-users] Problem and partly fix running izpack in WINE

[Pander]

Hi all,

I thought WINE would be good to test windows specific izpack installers
on a Linux system, but I run into a problem.

I have managed to install Java Runtime Environment:

$ wine java -version
java version "1.4.2_11"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_11-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_11-b06, mixed mode)

It gives a small error but I decided to ignore it.

This is the result of my installer test:

$ wine java -jar test-installer-windows-1.2.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
        at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfoFile.createZoneInfo(Unknown Source)
        at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfoFile.getZoneInfo(Unknown Source)
        at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo.getTimeZone(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.TimeZone.getDefault(Unknown Source)
        at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.initialize(Unknown Source)
        at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Date.toString(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.String.valueOf(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.StringBuffer.append(Unknown Source)
        at com.izforge.izpack.installer.Installer.main(Installer.java:44)

This can be fixed by running the installer like this:

$ wine java -Duser.timezone=UTC -jar test-installer-windows-1.2.jar

Then the installer comes up with an empty grey window. All works via the keyboard but there is nothing to see. WINE logs heaps of lines with fixme and not supported yet.

If more people are interested in running izpack in WINE, an izpack page could be created in at winehq.

Thanks,
