JCreator Portable

Submitted by Metalla on April 1, 2009 - 8:36pm

Have uploaded a test version of this.

The installer will put everything other than the program in. Download JCreater and put in the app\JCreator folder

Then grab the JDK and throw that in the same folder in a folder called jdk.

The options folder contains the profile to allow jcreator to use that folder for the jdk.

Then all should be groovy.

(this is working for me with JCreator Pro.

May/Should work for JCreater LE as well sop long as its exe is JCreater.exe, if not just change it and you should be good to go.

Auto update

Submitted by only1pj on March 31, 2009 - 9:00am

Can an auto update feature be built into PortableApps?

Check current installed app(s) - compare installed version number - check for new version number - suggest update of xyz app(s).

Got a problem with making NetBeans 7 portable

Submitted by Evertt on March 27, 2009 - 4:12pm

When I install the Java SDK on my stick and then NetBeans 7 on my stick (editing the config-file so that it uses the Java from my stick) everything works fine.

But then it still uses the .netbeans-folder on my computer for all my settings. And when I edit it in the config-file so that it uses some folder on my stick then the program suddenly won't launch anymore. When I start the program I see the process appear in the task-manager and some seconds later it disappears again, without error.
Why?

To be clear, this is about the netbeans_default_userdir var in the netbeans.conf file.

Error while applying NLF font/RTL: Unicode conversion failed
Error - aborting creation process

Has selected only the languages which stand also with IcoFX at possession.

Sorry for my bad english, I used a translation program
