Before you can create an application type you must have the following available:
| Template files, | |
applicationType.properties file, |
|
| any additional jar files, | |
| an optional JavaHelp HelpSet. |
The following steps describe one way of creating a distributable application type:
templates directory in the temporary directory
and copy all the templates for the application type into it.jars directory in the temporary directory
and copy the additional jar files into it.applicationType.properties into the root of the
temporary directory.
jar -cvf ../someType.jar *someType.jar is the name of the jar file that
will contain the distributable application type.
(Note: this requires the jar executable to be in the path).someType.jar now contains the distributable application type.
