Servoy installer - place to install files

Postby Robert Huber » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:40 am

Hi

As I read this morning a thread in the WebObjects list, I take a comment there to bring up a long time issue with Servoy which annoys me whenever I fall over it (which happily happens only from time to time) - meant as an idea for Servoy to think about.

The installation place of Servoy and the database coming with it. I am speaking about OS X, don't know for the other operating systems. As an exception to a "normal" install, Servoy puts erverything into the Servoy folder, including the database files, not exactly the standard place for such files.

I use the words from one of the WO developers on a thread concerning the installation place of Eclipse for WebObjects (project WOLips).

Code: Select all
... An application that writes into its own application folder is fundamentally flawed. Eclipse SHOULD have a base install that is read-only and then write any custom things into ~/Library/Application Support/Eclipse. ...
