OpenOffice.org Portable 2.2 Pre-Release (Testers Needed)

Give it a shot, Thanks.

Java is not yet GPLed

It's coming?

_____________________________
I felt so different without a signature.

Not an exact date but but just an idea of how long OOP 2.2's release takes place.

As all of ya should know Microsoft is the Evil Empire, and Windows (a.k.a. Winblows or Windoze) is their greatest general, so please make a difference and install Linux or Free BSD on yer Windows comp.

As in 2.1, the "common files"-Java works great.
AFAICT, it doesn't leave anything behind.
But there is a missing parenthesis in the java_readme:
(so you'd have a lib and a bin directory in this Java directory when complete.
Nice work, John!

What about Java 1.6?

I actually have C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01.

Can I use these files?

I updated my java just to make sure I have the latest version.

Based on your version i make it one in french for testing (sorry for my bad english)
it's working perfectly
Just a remarke after analysing the procedure
if the user change or add some data or param for java in the option after close the application all is gone

the difference i have made is : change 'user' directory by 'share'
that make OOo use it because OOo check there also
to confirme that see in this file 'jvmfwk3.ini'

'OpenOffice_Portable_2.2_PRERELEASE_en-us.paf\OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\program\jvmfwk3.ini'

inside the file you can see this
---------------------------------
UNO_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA=$UserInstallation/user/config/javasettings_${_OS}_${_ARCH}.xml
UNO_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA=$BaseInstallation/share/config/javasettings_${_OS}_${_ARCH}.xml

maybe beter way don't know but working wel for me

Works great.

Hi John,

in my mind we are now ready to publish OOo Portable 2.2.
If You want we could use the new NSIS-Installer for OOo too.

Hi John,

is there any problem with 2.2?
All the feedback we get was ok.
It seems to work perfect.

If there is any trouble, please let me know it.

Could we release now 2.2?

Regards

Dear John,

In order to switch easily between JRE, it would be great to use the following directory structure instead of the current one:

?:\PortableApps\$APPNAME$Portable\App\JRE\$VERSION$\
?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\JRE\$VERSION$\ 

The variable $VERSION$ could then be replaced dynamically with the value specified in a jreportable.ini file located in the directory JRE:

[JREPortable]
Vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
Version=1.5.0_11
URL=http://java.sun.com/

Same idea for the GTK used by many portable applications... What about the following structure instead of specifying the GTK path in $APPNAME$Portable.ini ?

?:\PortableApps\$APPNAME$Portable\App\GTK\$VERSION$
?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\GTK\$VERSION$ 

gtkportable.ini (located in directory GTK)

[GTKPortable]
Version=2.0

Moreover gtkportable.ini or jreportable.ini could co-exist in different location in order to setup a priority level depending on the application requirements.

JRE

   1st level of priority (recommended)
       ?:\PortableApps\$APPNAME$Portable\App\GTK\
   2nd level of priority
       ?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\GTK\
   3nd level of priority
       ?:\CommonFiles\GTK\

JDK

   1st level of priority (recommended)
       ?:\PortableApps\$APPNAME$Portable\App\JRE\
   2nd level of priority
       ?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\JRE\
   3nd level of priority
       ?:\CommonFiles\JRE\

That way you could then have, for example:

       ?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\JRE\1.4.2_12
       ?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\JRE\1.5.0_11
       ?:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\JRE\1.6.0_01
         jreportable.ini
            [JREPortable]
            Vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
            Version=1.5.0_11
            URL=http://java.sun.com/            

       ?:\PortableApps\$APPNAME$Portable\App\JRE\
         jreportable.ini
            [JREPortable]
            Vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
            Version=1.6.0_01
            URL=http://java.sun.com/  

$APPNAME$ should then use the JRE 1.6.0_01 but the other application shoud use JRE 1.5.0.11. What do you think about it ?

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Kind regards,

For all Chinese users who needs 2.2.0.
I made both Trad. and Simp. Chinese versions.

I'm using the English version everyday. No problems encountered!

the final of OpenOffice 2.2.1 has been released meanwhile, I hope the upcoming final OOportable will use this.

Btw - the OOportable 2.2 beta worked totally flawless for weeks now...

Hi,
I just upgraded to portable OO 2.2 pre-release but I have a problem with formulas.
When I try to write a formula, I cannot use one of these characters "()+": they are substituted by a white rectangle. It seems to be a font problem.
I've checked portable OO 2.0.4 and It works correctly.
I'm not shure that the problem depends on the portable version, but users with the official version told me that they don't have this problem.
May anybody check this and report here?

Thanks and Bye
