Description Ken Walker CLA 2012-04-17 16:30:48 EDT 
Mozilla is beginning the rollout of an App Store and one of the categories is a Web App.  At the basic level, this can be a link to the actual web application and initially this is the support Orion will provide.

The defect here covers adding the necessary client code and icons to support being referenced and installed from the App Store.

There are several links of information including:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps

Released some new icons, javascript, app manifest and HTML related to supporting Orion in the App Store.

This is mostly complete however waiting on a defect logged at Mozilla for their Nightlies browser.

The install call did not need a full URL previously but does now and this would prohibit the same install javascript file from working on both orion.eclipse.org and orionhub.org

Used to be:
navigator.mozApps.install("/webapp/orion-manifest.webapp");

Now is because of Mozilla defect:
navigator.mozApps.install("http://orion.eclipse.org/webapp/orion-manifest.webapp");
Comment 4 Ken Walker CLA 2012-05-24 11:46:49 EDT 
I'm going to make an assumption that the Mozilla defect will be fixed and thus I will not create separate install manifests for orion.eclipse.org and orionhub.org .

This is based on the fact that the defect is considered blocking the mozApps 1.0 release.

Comment 5 Ken Walker CLA 2012-06-07 14:20:00 EDT 
Checked today and their script support requires me to (a) make some changes and (b) create unique installs for orion.eclipse.org and orionhub.org
