Create Binary for Windows

Requirements

• a Windows operating system (obviously): Windows 2000, XP, Vista or later incarnations of NT should work
• a JDK (needed since we build from the Java source) >= 1.5
• the Subversion command-line client (until bug 5341 gets fixed) >= 1.4: get it under Cygwin or download it from http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download for example and install it
• the complete installation of NSIS >= 2.24: download it from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ and install it (at the moment it is expected by the below script to sit under C:\Programme\NSIS, sorry for that; however for now the script can be tweaked easily)

Steps

1. start Windows
2. checkout Yanel from SVN (anonymous access is sufficient)
3. run src\release <version string> <revision number> (see the description of the official release process for how to choose the exact values)... and wait a while
4. you should test the installer which will be run automatically just before the script ends
5. the installer program can then be provided as binary snapshot/release within the Windows download section: it will be available in the folder build\bin-snapshots\wyona-yanel-VERSION-rREVISION-bin-win under the name install-Wyona-Yanel-VERSION-rREVISION.exe
