Bug #3122
closedGet installer size down
0%
Description
Currently with documentation, the installer jar file is 174MB. We need to go through and make sure everything in there is actually needed and see if we can get that size down a bit.

Try to locate all extraneous items and remove them from the installer.

added new build targets to pair down the kepler directory for each operating system. so far I have built a Mac installer that is 154 MB with R included and 93 MB without R. Currently working on the windows and linux version.

For comparison,
Ptolemy II 7.0.1 Windows Installer: 131Mb
Ptolemy II 7.0.1 Windows zip: 44.7Mb
Ptolemy II 7.0.1 Unix tar.gz: 36.8Mb
Most of the space in the Windows Installer is for the docs.
After installation, right clicking and selecting properties
shows that the Windows installer consumes 235Mb or 256Mb on disk.

I notice that standalone-compiler.jar (~4 mb) is still in the installer version. Not sure if this is needed after izpack does it's thing.

the files in lib/jar/base-jars/apache/xalan.jar (~1 MB) are included in lib/jar/jwsdp/xalan.jar (~7 MB) and could likely be removed. I checked file count and file size of org.apache.xalan, org.apache.xml and org.apache.xpath and they appear to be exactly the same.
