BUG REPORT

So, we're all very excited about the new userInfo functionality in greenfoot 2.2.0. I just finished implementing it into a project I'm working on. When I exported it as a .jar... it just didn't work. The first reference to userInfo is right at the start of the world so it can't start up. It just opens the Greenfoot window squashed into a little thing with just the 'run' and 'reset' buttons. I tried exporting a backup of the scenario from before userInfo and it worked fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Greenfoot team, you did test that before implementation right?

Yes (I assume you mean after implementation...) You realise that UserInfo doesn't provide any functionality when you export to a Jar file? Methods such as getTop() will return null in that case. You did read the class documentation, right? :p

If you use methods that return info from UserInfo, you first need to check that's available, doing something like this: 
if (UserInfo.isStorageAvailable()) {
   //do your things here...
}

Sorry wrong word, *publication. (Implementation to the I'll be honest I'm a bit disappointed about that :/ I love being able to export it as a jar and send it off to my friends. It sort of sucks that they wont be able to get the full functionality. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate greenfoot and all that the dev team has put into it. But I guess I just was expecting it to work with .jar aswell. I DID read some of the documentation, but not thoroughly :P
