Download Flickr Album based on a GuestPass or Album URL

README

          

When finished, this will hopefully be a JRuby-based GUI Application enabling my
family and friends to download entire Flickr photo sets, that I have shared
with them via Flickr's GuestPass feature.

Installation
============

In order to make it basically work you will need to download the following jars
into lib/java.

* swt.jar
* jruby-complete.jar

Additionally you need to gem unpack the
following gems in lib/ruby

* mechanize-1.0.0
* nokogiri-1.4.3.1-java
* weakling-0.0.4-java

This app was only tested using Mac OS X 10.6.4.

It currently works using the start.sh if using JRuby 1.5.3 and when mechanize
and its dependencies are installed via rubygems.

It also works after running the rawr rake task `rake rawr:bundle:app`. This
will create a jar in package/jar which may be executed with
`java -jar -XstartOnFirstThread package/jar/flickr.jar`. This also seems to
rely on an installed mechanize gem.

Known Problems
==============

The Mac OS X app bundle created by Rawr is currently not working due to the
fact, that SWT expects to be loaded in the main thread (ref. SWTException:
Invalid thread access). We are working on it.
