bin/omero-importer does not work
Could not find or load main class org.openmicroscopy.shoola.Main

Still true for 5.5.8.

Still true for 5.5.9.

In case the cause was unclear. The startup scripts misses the contents of the CLASSPATH variable. After unzipping. Look in file bin/omero-importer file. The CLASSPATH= is empty.

When starting with empty CLASSPATH, you get the following error

$ ./bin/omero-importer 
Error: Could not find or load main class org.openmicroscopy.shoola.Main

Copying over the contents of the variable from the insight startup script fixes the issue.

@PaulVanSchayck are you using the importer? The reason I am asking is that we are considering not building the artifacts anymore

[PaulVanSchayck]

Haha.. you've been considering that for years, haven't you? Every time I report an issue with the importer I get told exactly this :P.

We like the simple GUI. Especially because we tell users to use the webclient mostly, and hardly anyone uses the insight client. So we have only the importer installed on our microscopes and workstations.

See https://forum.image.sc/t/omero-desktop-client-omero-insight/35234
The Desktop client will stay e.g. insight.dmg, we were just considering not bundling the importer as a standalone app.
If it is useful, we will keep bundling it.

Hmm I see..

Would it be an option to include the omero-importer startup script in the insight artifact? Or as command line option to the insight startup script? Or do you think that's confusing?

[jburel]

I have fixed the problem.
We did not hear that people still needed and it seems that you still do so we will keep building the artifact
I have also automated the generation of the artifacts via travis so it should not be a problem.

Fixed in 5.5.10
