Hello all,
What is the status on installers for DHIS 2, inlcuding Tomcat and a database? I suppose India has a good grip on them now?
We could probably easily build on the work using IzPack by openXdata, at least for MySql:
http://wiki.openxdata.org/Main/Downloads

Though there was work on a BitRock based click-click Windows installer previously, we dont have an updated one on dhis2.org currently, which is a shame.
Of course, it is relatively straightforward to download and install Java, Tomcat and Mysql separately, create the DHIS2_HOME variable and point it to a folder where one creates hibernate.properties, create an empty database and put the .war file in tomcat\webapps. In addition, one can set up Maven and build from soruce.
I have written a recipe for doing the same on an Ubuntu server
http://www.openhealthconsortium.org/wiki/doku.php?id=ohm_on_an_ubuntu_server
However, we need to make it as easy as possible for people to get started - therefore I propose to modify the openXdata IzPack installer. One interesting thing with their setup is that they avoid the creation of an environment variable by simply copying the hibernate properties file into tomcat\webapps\openxdata
For OpenHealthMapper, we also want to prepopulate the database with country hierarchies and corresponding geojson files (though we are also thinking to offer the generalized geojson files as a webservice).

I thought Saptarshi had done a netbeans installer?

Sonds good. Where is it and how is it updated?
It would also be nice to have an installer for the whole Public Health Information Toolkit (http://phitoolkit.org) - including OMRS, DHIS, OXD (openXdata) etc.
(In the long term - a.k.a.student projects - we could strive for something like the EnterpriseDB installer’s Stack builder:

Havent updated or looked at the Netbeans-based installer in some time now… since it is not being used in India and we are still using the Bitrock installer and batch scripts
Have to look for the code as well since I didnt have a place to commit when I was working on it
