  • In the /install-files/ folder, create a folder called jre1jrex.8x.0x_20x. This will hold the Java Runtime for each platform.
    • Download the latest JREs zips from the BitRock website. You'll need:
      • JRE Windows
      • JRE Windows x64
      • JRE Linux
      • JRE Linux x64
      • JRE Mac OS X

    • Each of these zips will be structured like:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      jre1jrex.8x.0x_20x-<platform>/
└── java-<platform>/
    ├── bin/
    │   ...
    └── lib/
        ...

    • From each of the zips, copy the java-<platform> folder into /install-files/jre1jrex.8x.0x_20x/
      Your folder structure should look like:

      Code Block
      .
└── install-files/
    ├── icons/
    ├── images/
    └── jre1jrex.8x.0x_20x/
        ├── java-linux/
        │   ├── bin/
        │   └   ...
        ├── java-linux-x64/
        ├── java-osx/
        ├── java-windows/
        └── java-windows-x64/

    • Edit the java.xml file to update the jre version.  The jre version is throughout the file.  So its best to use a text editor that can do a search and replace.

      Code Block
      languagexml
      titleinstall-files/java.xml
                  <distributionFileList>
                <distributionFile>
                    <allowWildcards>1</allowWildcards>
                    <origin>install-files/jre1.8.0_25/java-windows/*</origin>
                </distributionFile>
            </distributionFileList>

      For instance, if the jre version is upgraded to jre1.8.0_26, use the following command with vim.

      Code Block
      languagebash
      titleVIM search & replace
      %s/jre1.8.0_25/jre1.8.0_26

 

  • The NautDrafter compiled distributable must also be added.
    • In the main NautDrafter repo (cloned from https://bitbucket.org/nautdrafter/nautdrafter), run ./gradlew distZip (in the root directory). This will generate zip files in <project>/build/distributions/<project>.zip.

    • Extract <main-nautdrafter-repo>/NautDrafter/build/distributions/NautDrafter.zip to the root of the installer repo.
      You should now have the following folder structure:

      Code Block
      .
├── install-files/
│   ├── icons/
│   ├── images/
│   └── jre1.8.0_20/
└── NautDrafter/
    ├── assets/
    ├── bin/
    ├── bundles/
    ├── lib/
    └── style/
  • You are now ready to generate an installer!
