[ANN] GroovyHelp 3.0.0 GA released!(supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X)

[daniel_sun]

Hi all,

    I'm very glad to release the GA version of GroovyHelp 3.0.0(http://code.google.com/p/groovyhelp/), which spent me a lot of time to complete and make it stable. I hope you like it!

Improvements included:
    1. enhance the search function by adding the scope of searching scope.
    2. improve the performance of startup and building index further
    3. add a new feature to check for updates
    4. add support for Mac OS X
    5. beautify GroovyHelp on all platforms.
Bugs fixed:
    1. progress of building some docs' index can not update.
    2. GroovyHelp of latest EA version fails to launch sometimes.

    It's a free software, give it a try and feedback your proposals. Thanks.

Best regards,
Daniel.Sun

Daniel,

Trying to use on OSX 10.6 and hitting a failure.  I'm using JDK 6

I added a echo in the shell script at the troublesome code:

/Users/williamstephens/.bluesun/groovyhelp.9357-tmp
tail -c 4962 ./groovyhelp | tar -zx -C /Users/williamstephens/.bluesun/groovyhelp.9357-tmp
tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
Failed to launch GroovyHelp

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

 Please try to type ./groovyhelp in Terminal to launch GroovyHelp. You will fail to launch it if you double-click the script file named "groovyhelp".
 Note: the script file named "groovyhelp". should be the *original* one within groovyhelp-3.0.0-ga_b2011040501.zip.

Best regards,
Daniel.Sun

The latest GA never starts for me on OSX (from terminal ./groovyhelp).

The previous version (for linux) started just fine

No idea why

Daniel,

I just tested GroovyHelp3.0 GA under both Mac OS X and Ubuntu again, it works fine.

Could you tell me what error you face?

Note: the script file named "groovyhelp" should be kept as it was, don't edit it otherwise GroovyHelp will fail to launch.

ps:
If you want to double-click groovyhelp script to launch it under Ubuntu, just type "chmod 755 groovyhelp" in terminal to change it privilege.

Best regards,
Daniel.Sun

Hi Bill,

The error "tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format" means that the script has been edited.

1. Please try to uncompress the original script file named "groovyhelp" from groovyhelp-3.0.0-ga_b2011040501.zip(you downloaded from googlecode site)
2. replace the current script file you are using.
3. try to type ./groovyhelp in terminal to launch it.

ps:
> I added a echo in the shell script at the troublesome code:

Good luck :)

Yeah, that was the problem. I updated the groovyhelp "script" to use set JAVA_HOME because I develop on JDK 5 and did not want to change my environment for this.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

You can try to write a script to change JAVA_HOME :)

my_groovyhelp.sh:
<code>
# modify JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME="some_location_where_your_jre_placed"
# invoke the groovyhelp script
bash groovyhelp
</code>

Good luck :)

Hi Bill,

Does the script I wrote work for you?

Daniel.Sun

[Bill Stephens]

Daniel,

I did the same thing.

Bill,

  I mean you can write a new script(my_groovyhelp.sh) to change JAVA_HOME and invoke the groovyhelp "script", which may solve your problem.
