RFE for downloads page of openjdk-osx-build project, non.dmg availability #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Is it possible to also have a downloadable .tar.bz2 of the JDK (not embedded in 
.dmg) downloadable from the page (currently, only .dmg downloads available)? In 
my case, I'll need to bundle JRE for various platforms, but build process is 
Linux based, so it will be very convenient to not need a mac machine to get to 
the inside of the .dmg.

As a temporary workaround, you can mount a dmg as a loopback image in linux

Project goal is to ease OpenJDK 7 deployment for OS/X so DMG.

Loopback is a good option (advice welcomed to be added in Wiki)

I see no reason why the JDK bundle could just be provided as a ZIP or TAR.

Reason why this would have been useful is generating bundled installers from 
Linux (as we do for Windows and Linux, see 
http://netbeans.dzone.com/including-jre-in-nbi ). Having the OSX JRE readable 
in a platform-independent way (thus, not only DMG) will greatly help towards 
this aim.
