Description _ rkubacki 2007-08-17 10:16:13 UTC
A service tag enables automatic discovery of systems, software, and services. A service tag uniquely identifies each
tagged asset, and allows the asset information to be shared over a local network in a standard XML format.

The requirement is to support this discovery in NB6.0

/shared/data/ccvs/repository/ide/launcher/unix/netbeans,v  <--  netbeans
new revision: 1.51; previous revision: 1.50

Product info is added on second start (when userdir already exists) and instance urn is stored in $userdir/servicetag.
It is updated on every next start. Of course this is done only if [ -x /usr/bin/stclient ]

Side effect is some message printed to console. We can also try to do this asynchronously so that startup is not affected.

I did not tested what happens if more users use IDE on the same machine (they will probably get more records/urns in the
database).

I enabled the functionality on Linux as well, in case the tagging tools are installed (in /opt/sun/servicetag/bin)

Comment 3 Petr Nejedly 2007-10-19 15:49:20 UTC
Actually, there was a typo, correct version that should work is:
repository/ide/launcher/unix/netbeans,v1.57
Comment 4 mslama 2008-01-03 14:52:51 UTC
This is now removed as we have separate module for this. See issue #123136.
