public abstract class DocumentedDistribution2<M extends Model<M>,G extends Gui> extends JFrame
Top-Level programm for distribution of code (as binary), plus documentation, example(s) and sources.
(Since javaws/JNLP is deprecated since jse 9 and no more contained in jse 11, this is a REPLACEMENT for the deprecated @link{DocumentedDistribution}. It uses java.util.prefs.Preferences and java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(..) (as wrapped by BrowserControl) instead.)
Contains
  1. global public constant definitions
  2. the top-level control flow for the very different use cases, including prefs.Preference interfacing,
  3. Downloading "DEnS" (="Documentation,Examples and Sources"
  4. A gui with menu, options panel, message panel.
  5. Multi-language support
  6. Currently MISSING is (semi-)automated version updating; this had been done by javaws/JNLP in the preceding version

That means it delivers a found translation immediately, but stores the translations as a side effect, for later retrieval. The current muli messages catalog is given by msg and has been initialised from the configuration object.
      Parameters:
      translations - list of PAIRS of String, each language code and text
      args - objects formatted into the translated text by printf codes

    • insitu

      protected String insitu(String key, List<String> translations)
      Makes an "in situ" definition using Catalog.insitu(Object,List,List) of the current muli messages catalog, with the current language preferences. That means it delivers a found translation immediately, but stores the translations as a side effect, for later retrieval. The current muli messages catalog is given by msg and has been initialised from the configuration object. This is the variant for constant texts, i.e. without printf embedding.
      Parameters:
      translations - list of PAIRS of String, each language code and text

    • insitu

      protected String insitu(String key, String... translations)
      See Also:

    • INSITU

      protected String INSITU(String key, String... translations)
      Makes an "in situ" definition using Catalog.INSITU(Object,List). It puts the definitions in the current translation catalog and returns the key, so this can be used immediately e.g. as the text argument for message sending.

      ATTENTION more than one calls with the same key are illegal and bring unpredictable results, because only one of both storings will be executed. The current muli messages catalog is given by msg and has been initialised from the configuration object.

      Parameters:
      key -
      translations - list of PAIRS of String, each language code and text

      public void non_static_main(String[] args)
      Main entry for command line and for GUI operation. Can be started
      1 locally from command line (jar file as executive)
      2 by "clicking" a jar file in a "graphic" operating system.
      It shows different behaviours according to the combination of the following parameters:
      1. jar-click or cmd-line start?
      2. DEnS already downloaded or not?
      3. command line arguments present or empty?
      There are META options which have no standard gui representation. Some of them (version, help) realize the POSIX behaviour. Some of the are combinable with others, see "COMB" in the following table. The cases which are not marked COMB or ERR are currently not specified. 
           combinable with   --vers  --help  --lang  --gui  --clear --geom PAYLOAD
  META: 
    --version             --   COMB            ERR    COMB    ERR    ERR
    --help                     --       COMB   ERR    COMB    ERR    ERR
    --language                          --     COMB   COMB    COMB   COMB
    --gui                                      --     COMB    COMB   COMB
    --clearPersistency                                --      COMB   COMB
    --geometry                                                --     COMB
      The common operations are always ..
      1. Set up message channels.
      2. Parse command line options (including an empty string)
      3. If options specify a payload task, then execute main functionality by applying executeBatchOperation() on this data, controlled by the global input optionsModel
      4. if there is no such processing task, or if interactive mode has been asked for explicitly, either by the commandline or by payload run, then start the GUI mode.

      Possible use cases / combinations: 

       (A) cmd line not empty / has payload options
   - parsed w/o errors    --> execute cmd line 
   - parsed with errors   --> signal to user (gui/non-gui)
 (B) cmd line empty
   - preferences altered by user in a preceding session 
                            --> start user's preferences in Gui
                                else start with an empty Gui
      (The example option datas are not loaded automatically, but can be copied into the GUI pane by menu.)
