Re: javaWebStart and openmap 4.4.2

Hi Don,

Yes, I have tried to use AppletDataNudgets. What I did is

- Created gismaps.class using
java com.bbn.openmap.io.AppletDataNugget gismaps

- Put gismaps.class in the jar with data

- set Properties
openmap.appletDataNuggets gismaps

Sign the jar.

But it did not help. I think it is because the Environment.isApplet is false and
BinaryFile checks this variable several times. I suspect the javaWebStart treats
the application and applet in the same way.Might be this is the reason.

Funny thing is that there are several other files in the same jar and
the application can read it using

      ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
      InputStream csvInp = cl.getResourceAsStream((String)props.getProperty("country.csvFile"));
      InputStreamReader csvReader = new InputStreamReader(csvInp);
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(csvReader);

with no problem in both cases (using java -cp and javaWebStart)
