Re: Bundling JRE with platform application on OSX

I'm the author of referenced RFE.

The ticket contains what needs to be done and you can follow that yourself.
It is a really a small fix the NB developers. If you are to fix it yourself
then it requires you know how to checkout NB source, correct the problem
(as per the recipe), build yourself a new nbi_engine.jar and finallly that
your know how to utilize this new custom nbi_engine.jar in your project as
opposed to the one that comes with NB itself.

This is exactly what I do in my projects. I've corrected numerous problems
in NBI Engine so I've forged my own. In the spirit of open source I've made
sure to report back to bugzilla exactly what I've corrected and why so that
others can follow. Supporting JRE bundle is just one of several
enhancements / bugs I've done on NBI Engine. Each of those is logged in
bugzilla.

It is my impression that NBI in NetBeans world is dormant. So you better
learn the above steps if you are serious about developing apps on the NB
Platform that utilize the NBI. Just my two cents. :-)

Peter
