JUploadr Beta Users Picked

I have picked all of the Beta users, and the beta is now closed. If, however, you want the latest jUploadr, feel free to check it out from source and build it yourself. It’s not terribly difficult to do –all you need are Ant, Java (Get a JDK, not a JRE), and you’re set.

Once ant and java are installed, use CVS to get the source code and issue the following commands to build
Linux: ant dist
Linux on a 64 bit Athlon: ant dist -Darch=linuxGTK_amd64
Windows: ant dist -Darch=win32_x86

I use eclipse to build the mac port, so I don’t have an ant task for that.

Update:  I have created an eclipse task to do a mac build. On a mac, open terminal, cd into the jUploadr source directory and execute

ant dist-mac -Darch=macOSX

You’ll have a JUploadr.app in your releases directory in no time.

    WOO! thank you. I just built it out of CVS and so far so good. I had to authorize zooomr twice for some reason but no big deal. I’ll be stress testing this thing like crazy over the next few days.

    I’ve found Zooomr’s auth to be a little wonky, Kris is working on it. If you use bandwidth throttling, you might want to update, as I changed how it works to get better performance.

    Sadly there seems to be trouble with OS X (or at least on my MacBook Pro) from the CVS build. Guess I’ll be awaiting an official release.

    Thanks for your hardwork guys!

    Yes, I mentioned in the post that I use eclipse to build the mac version, it’s much easier than writing an ant task to make the application bundle.

    I have problems running CVS JUploadr on my Intel Mac. Can I get some assistance?

    It was just a small glitch in the ant script (needed to compile using -source 1.4). Now it works. Thank you for pointing this out Steve, and thank you for the great work on jUploadr.

    BTW. Where should bug reports go? Here? Or is this reserved to “official jUploadr beta users”?

    jUploadr 1.1 Beta - My Extremely Lengthy Build Process…

    I finally managed to get jUploadr built. The instructions are short but it took me a long time.
    Step One: Get a Java Development Kit
    This was the easiest part. I didn’t have any problems but it went downhill from there.
    Step Two: Get Ant
    I didn…
