Barracuda setup on Mac OS X - 1.4.1 PR8 JVM

Hi all,

I hope this helps someone on Mac OS X to arrive a bit quicker to a first 
install from CVS...

As of January 2003, the JVM for the Mac is 1.3.1. When I installed 
Barracuda from CVS (as perJacob's post to Ravi on 31Dec02), I got XML 
related compile errors - it appears Apple have added an xml jar in their 
Java installation. I found that the Mac's equivalent to 
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed as found in Java 1.4 is 
/Library/Java/extensions (you may have to create the extensions 
directory). Note: From memory you can also have jars in 
~/Library/Java/extensions to isolate special jars to a user profile 
instead of being system wide; view the article in Apples Java developer 
area.
With xerces and xalan jars copied to /Library/Java/extensions, the XML 
related compile problem disappeared.

I then found there were 1.3 dependencies in the Plankton code which 
Barracuda is built on and it wouldn't compile. Therefore I downloaded 
Java 1.4.1 Pre-release 8 from Apple (http://connect.apple.com). Changed 
$JAVA_HOME to 
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Home and set 
up everything as per the post to Perez from Jacob on 12 Nov 2002.
Note: Still used /Library/Java/extensions for xerces and xalan jars.

The "ant jars" went well on the Macs' 1.4.1 PR8 apart from a hiccup on 
the localization samples.
For example...

    <snip>

    /var/root/barcuda/Barracuda/src/org/enhydra/barracuda/config/xmlc/Config_sv.html:1803:

     [localize]     public static final String NAME_ButtonZur?cksetzen =
    "ButtonZur\u0178cksetzen";
     [localize] 
    <snip>    

I just deleted 
$BARRACUDA_HOME/src/org/enhydra/barracuda/config/xmlc/Config_*.html and 
ran "ant jars" again and the script completed successfully. The "ant 
install" also worked 100%.
Using Tomcat 4.1.12 on Mac OS 10.2.3.

Many thanks Jacob.
