that could also change the way whatsnew works now

Or.. it should actually just return the manifest. Then we expose the what's new file as well.

The what's new dialog should be possible to pop up as well, but then based on the new manifest.

It might be as simple as:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

so it returns null if equal?

Yes, then there is no update available.

yeah that works

Sweet, testing now.

I had to check for AbstractLauncher.manifest being null, so that it's possible to run this call even when the app wasn't started by FXLauncher. If not, it will fail when in development.

It worked! Releasing.

you are good thank you

Will need to create an example in the README later today.

Also need to update demo projects to 1.0.16, will tweet about it after that. It's released now, should be in maven central within the hour 🙂

good I will adapt to it in fxlauncher-maven-plugin

Sweet!

@ron About the javapackager step - I think it would be best to add all the parameters into the plugin, because it becomes discoverable directly in the POM. What do you think?

@ron We should make sure that as many options as possible have the same name across the plugins. I want to start working on the javapackager step for the Gradle plugin, that's why I'm asking.

@ron Many of the options have defaults in the Gradle plugin, but we could make them overridable if needed. The others should only be included if they have a value.

@ron I could start making a list of the parameters and suggested names perhaps?

Yes that will work

The Java packager options will be part of the plugin most are already mentioned

OK, I'll look at your options instead then and adopt the same names in the Gradle plugin.

I dont mind adopting if you find better names

I am not very creative when it comes to names

btw I introduced an object to control the UIprovider making

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@ron Smart. Shouldn't the field

UiProviderClass

be called

uiProviderClass

etc? Looks strange with Java fields starting with a capital letter.

yeah I'll rename it, first finish writing the /META-INF/services file (almost there, I can taste it)

@ron Great! Btw, you have a bug in the setter for

uiProviderLocation

. You don't assign to the field, you just overwrite the input value.
