Allow specifying arbitrary <property>s under <resources>
amake opened this issue · 2 comments
(Apologies if this is already possible; if it is, I couldn't figure it out.)
It would be useful to be able to specify additional <property name="foo" value="bar"/>
elements for the <resources>
block. For instance in an app I am working on porting to Gradle we specify
<property name="javaws.cfg.jauthenticator" value="true" />
to work around an overzealous HTTP authentication dialog that javaws
offers by default (for historical reasons, settings this to true
turns it off 🙄).
Currently it seems there is no way to add to the <resources>
block automatically written by the plugin; specifying another resources
in withXml
results in a second <resources>
block.
Currently, withXml
is the only way to do that. Yes, that results in a second <resources>
block, but I have never had any issues with this. We are doing exactly that is our application at work to set arbitrary system properties. Our resulting jnlp looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jnlp spec='7.0' href='http://...' version='...' codebase='http://...'>
...
<resources>
<property name='jnlp.codebase' value='http://...' />
<property name='jnlp.orgunit' value='KAM' />
</resources>
<resources os='Windows'>
<property name='jnlp.launch.jnlp' value='http://...' />
</resources>
<resources>
<j2se version='1.8+' java-vm-args='-Xmx256m' />
<jar href='lib/main.jar' version='...' main='true' />
...
</resources>
<application-desc main-class='kam.rocky.janet.base.JanetMain' />
</jnlp>
OK, thanks! I have to admit I didn't test multiple <resources>
blocks because the app is cumbersome to deploy, but if it works then it works.
