installing j2sdk-1_3_1-solsparc.sh using .exec()?
i have a custom InstallShield wizard panel that checks to see if the JDK is on the client mahcine - if not it will attempt to install:
if (os.startsWith("Windows"))
executeCmd(workingDir + fileSep + "3rdParty" + fileSep + "java" + fileSep
+ "j2sdk1_3_0-win.exe");
else if (os.startsWith("SunOS"))
executeCmd(workingDir + fileSep + "3rdParty" + fileSep + "java" + fileSep
+ "j2sdk-1_3_1-solsparc.sh");
}
private void executeCmd(String strCommand)
{
try {
System.out.println("executing: " + strCommand);
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(strCommand);
p.waitFor();
}
}
works fine under windows, but on solaris it hangs!
i believe that what it's doing is launching the JDK install and then waiting for some user response - the only problem is that i can't SEE the JDK installation - that is, it's not opening up a new window for the process...
is there any way, through Java, that i can automically launch the j2sdk-1_3_1-solsparc.sh installation?
thanks,
