added example apple script for launching jnlp with otml
Scott Cytacki
common/java/deploy/jnlp-applescript-launcher
inside of which is a application bundle called:
OTAuthoringLauncherBundle
This is an applescript droplet onto which you can drop otml files.
The current version runs this jnlp:
http://jnlp.concord.org/dev/org/concord/maven-jnlp/otrunk-authoring-standalone/otrunk-authoring-standalone.jnlp
Which will work offline after the first time you run it.
If you want to make one that points a different jnlp you can take the
text of script.txt and paste it into the ScriptEditor application
(/Applications/AppleScript/ScriptEditor), and save as a bundle.
This type of thing should be useful for authors that are using
subversion to work otml files. They can drag their files from their
subversion check to this application and it will open them. This way
there is no need to go to the web just to startup the authoring application.
A few things that would be nice to fix with this:
- better icon
- support for "open with", it might be good if this app showed up when
trying to do an open with in the finder of an otml. If we end up with a
lot of these that might be a pain, but for now it would be useful.
A possibly better version of this type of working style would be to have
an eclipse rcp app that includes subclipse and custom launchers which
run the authoring and learner jnlps. The advantage to this would be
- better subversion ui provided by subclipse compared to the scplugin.
- works on windows.
- could integrate the xml (with otml schema), html, javascript, and ruby
editors available in eclipse.
