As of OSGeoLive 6.0beta4, the geomajas install script [1] installs version 1.8.0 rather than the latest stable version of 1.11.

We believe that this is also linked to geomajas not working in 6.0beta4 when the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) library was copied into the main java library.

The following email thread [2] should provide insights: On 07/23/2012 08:41 AM, Jody Garnett wrote:

We actually have three things to track here:

• JAI
• ImageIO
• ImageIO-Ext (this will make use of GDAL binaries if they are available on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or installed into jre/bin)

I was concerned about GeoMajas using an older copy of GeoTools; and ending up requiring a different version of ImageIO-Ext (and thus GDAL) then the other projects.

From a recent announcement (​http://www.geomajas.org/node/629) it looks like GeoTools 2.7.5 is expected. This release of GeoTools (​http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10270&version=18236) works with ImageIO 1.1.x stream and should be compatible with the same ImageIO-Ext as GeoServer and uDig (which are starting to make use of GeoTools 8).

Hi Jody,

Geomajas on the DVD is still in version 1.8.0. The link you provided was referring to Geomajas 1.11.0

Update: ​http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/usb_quickstart.html

We need to remove reference to the windows version of creating a USB, as people have been reporting that it doesn't work.

So the quickstart should only describe one way to create a USB (the best way that we know) which will be based upon Ubuntu linux (and probably should be based upon how to do this with an OSGeo-Live DVD (which we expect the user will have).

It should continue to reference: ​http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Quick_Start_for_USB The wiki can describe other methods of creating a USB.

We should update our VM Quickstart, which is currently too verbose, and could be made easier to follow.

Current docs are here:

​http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/quickstart/virtualbox_quickstart.html

​http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/usb_quickstart.html

​https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/en/quickstart/virtualbox_quickstart.rst

What I suggest is:

1. Try to ensure that the doc is concise, so there is less to translate. (The current VM that I wrote is too long).

2. Describe how to set up a VM for only one VM. Our quickstarts should be quick, (and easy to maintain), and shouldn't confuse users by asking them to decide on which VM to use.

3. I'm open to suggestions re which VM you think you should write to. I'd guess you would select the easiest, or most widely used Open Source VM, but this will probably be your call.

4. Finish with a link to an OSGeo-Live-VM wiki page. The wiki page can include much more detail, including how to install multiple versions of VMs.
