HOW TO SETUP

  • Download build from latest pipeline of this MR

windows

  • Extracted Installer from the build downloaded
  • Double click on it
  • Follow the setup wizard
  • Start from shorcut in menu

linux with Snap

  • You need to have snap available from your shell.

    • Debian/ubuntu based :
      sudo apt install snapd
    • Fedora based :
      sudo dnf install snapd
    • Arch linux based :
      yaourt -S snapd
      sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
  • Extract snap file to some location

  • Open shell prompt and move to this location (using cd )

  • run : sudo snap install --dangerous <yourFile.snap>. Note: I have a doubt about sudo

  • run : snap connect easy-installer:adb-support

  • run : sudo snap connect easy-installer:raw-usb

Uninstall the easy-installer test build:

Windows:

  • Open menu
  • Right click on easy-installer
  • select uninstall

Or remove it like any other software from uninstall settings menu.

Linux:

  • run sudo snap remove easy-installer in a shell

Test procedures

Execute the installer on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and check that there is no '“java” would like to receive keystrokes from any application' warning message on startup.

I don't have access to macOS myself so unfortunately I can't test the result. I did verify that the installer still builds with JavaFX without additional changes to the code and that the binary starts fine on Linux.

Screenshots

This is the warning message that should no longer appear after this MR.
