Thats a joke that i have to re-add every Addon i have installed, isnt it?
Once, yes. After that, you'll have the shiny DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING button.
Now, think about this: Rolfba wrote this updater to help people. It doesn't work with the new WoWAce system yet. You didn't pay him shit to use it. You're yelling at him.
I could not find a link in the last 10 pages, and downloaded the most recent one from the apple site.
Referencing this post, you need Java 1.6. I don't have a Mac, so I may be off-base as to the cause of the error you posted. Seems to be the common issue lately.
I recently reinstalled my OS and WoW. I just redownloade Jwow and when I go to run it I select my wow directory when it asks but the program is not detecting any of my addons anymore. Any ideas why this would be?
I'm having problems running jwowupdater on OS X 10.5 with Java 6. It looks like your info.plist keys are incorrect. The JVM version is set to 1.5+, so it will try and run under 1.5 first and fail. Also, the main class for the jar file is set to jwowupdater.Main, but looking in the jar file, it should now be just Main with no package. I was able to manually make these changes and get it to run, but I don't recommend it for everyone.
I can't update right now. That's a Curse/WowInterface problem.
Blaming Rolf for the end of the old method reminds me of this:
There's no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
2.2:
- wowace.com and curseforge.com support added again, but a useraccount on the sites will be needed to update from those.
- Fixed an error with deletion before update, should work ok now.
- Connections do now respect the timeout set in config
And on a side note, wowinterface is atm running with a low bandwidth interface which JWU dosent support.
Not sure if this is the place to post it. But if you click on the new "Re-Install Updates" button prior to getting a successful update from WoW Interface. It sets all the Date and Latest Date information to "0." After it sets these, I have not been able to get it to even try updating the WoW Interface items again, unless I manually edit the jwuaddondb.xml file and reset the "0"s to "-1"s again.
Also, it seems that the "Re-Install Updates" button also will not update the WoW Interface mods after this change has occurred to the Date/Latest Date fields.
I haven't tried the latest release but what I missed when I tried jWU2 was the "scan" button that was replaced with "update all". I really would like to see which addons need updating before updating :)
I also found a bit confusing the way you had to add the new urls for addons. The part of fetching the url and copy-pasteing it wasn't a big deal. I just was confused because the links didn't in any way link to the corresponding old addon in my addons folder (thus can't see for which I've already gotten the urls). If I recall correctly the unhandled addons list stayed the same even if I added some urls and the addon names in the handled addons -list weren't always recognizable (i.g. just numbers). Don't know if I explained this well enough.
For now I'm just updater-less, which is a big pita, but EU realms aren't up yet and I don't want to risk anything messing more with new updaters. Also now's probably not the best time to test updaters anyway, considering low bandwidth modes etc.

The unhandled list wont update until you actually let JWU download the addon, it has no way of telling what directories are for which addons until it has extracted the addon and looked inside.
Hmm, I'm running into some Java related conflicts with other Java applications since jWU requires Java 6. I have to switch it manually in my Java utility to v6 to use jWU and back to v5 for other apps I have, otherwise they don't even start. I'm using a Mac Pro with 10.5.5.
The buttons "disable handling", "delete" are a bit misleading imho,
as I would guess those to only affect handling (disable as in deactivate temporarily, delete as in delete handling) as they are on the handling dialog,
but the delete button deletes the addon instead only the handling...
Maybe make the delete one "delete addon"?
This may be something simple that I am missing, but how do I get the JWU to do anything? I am running 2.2.
The handled addons screen is blank, everything is listed under unhandled. I see no options to scan for addons or to update addons, nor do I see a place to enter a curse user ID or password.

You have to set up the Handled list yourself when you run JWU for the first time. Otherwise JWU has no idea where to download your addons from.

That's what I'm doing, and it's working really well so far.

What is this error and how do I fix it?
note: I just installed JavaForMacOSX10.5Update2
Updating started...
[5108] from [wowinterface.com]....needs update...
It won't go any farther, just sits there, I am running the correct Java
Galconda: WoW Interface appears to be down at the moment. Happens a lot on patch days.
I could not find a link in the last 10 pages, and downloaded the most recent one from the apple site.
