Description
If a user previously launched the old server mode applications and has a cached JNLP file and launcher shortcut, they may try to launch the application. This will result in an error message and bug report window, even though the applications are no longer supported. We should replace this with an update notification.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Done. All server mode jar files replaced with simple application which shows the user an error message stating that the server mode applications are no longer supported and directing them to the opensha.org website for an updated version. The next time a user launches one of these applications, the no longer supported message jar file will automatically be downloaded and launched instead of the old broken server mode application.
The actual class being launched is scratch.kevin.AppNoLongerSupportedGUI, but note that I had to create duplicates of this with the same class name as the (now removed) server mode applications. I committed the GUI in [10900], but not these duplicated classes.
