registerimage 2.0.0 beta is here!

Posted by fripp on July 26, 2009

I developed a new version of registerimage, in order to automatize loading of a virtual image in your VirtualBox. This new version in completely rewritten in Java; moreover, I added a spartan GUI in order to simplify its use.

This is a screenshot

register_screen1

To load a new image, click on “Select XML” to select the xml configuration file of the virtual machine you want to load and click on “Add VDI”  to choose the virtual hard disk associated to the virtual machine; after click on “Register!”.

To run registerimage-2.0.0 you have to type java -jar registerimage-2.0.0 from the command line; alternatively you can double-click on the jar file.

In order to use registerimage 2.0.0, you need a Java Virtual Machine (version >= 6) installed in your system; you can download a JVM from here. Moreover, you need the latest version of VirtualBox.

This new version of registerimage is capable of handling only version 1.6 and 1.7 of xml configuration file; I planned to add support for old xml versions.
