Install4j Web url for installer images - install4j

Is it possible to configure Install4j in such a way that I can specify a web url for the installer icons and images? I know we can update a image but i have case where the images need to be fetched from a web server. Thanks
Edit: I want the left image (blue) on the left to be downloaded from a web URL.

As of install4j 8 this is not supported. I've created an issue for this feature request.

Can I build a progressive web app showing a website which is not my own?

I am currently creating a chrome-extension, which re-styles a website(not my own). I would also like to create a progressive web app, which can be downloaded from my site, where people can view this third party website, but with my custom CSS and JavaScript. Is this possible to build?
Regards
Benjamin
No you can't. Manifest and service worker file should be present in the actual websites location along with other PWA features. You can fake it with an PWA app frame having iframe. But due to cross origin requests, that wont help you build a PWA for 3rd party either.

How do I test web pages opened in an Eclipse internal browser view.

We are developing an Eclipse plugin that opens web pages in a view using the Eclipse web browser (typically IE on Windows).
Are there any testing tools that support Eclipse (to drive the parts using Eclipse/RCP) and also able to drive the web browser views.
At a minimum I'd want to be able to get elements by ID or xpath, and to send click events to elements in the browser.
We know Quick Test Pro doesnt do this, and can't see anything that explicitly supports Eclipse web browser views.
You can check with QFS , we used this tool for SWT/JFace UI automation and this tool also supports web. You can to check if this supports your test case.

opening a file in its native program with GWT

I wanted to open the files available in my web application to its corresponding native apps in PC. I have created the set of program to download the file from web app but didn't know how to set that files to open with native app in system. kindly help me in this. If you have any other options to use rather than downloading and displaying the file please suggest me.
Note: I am using eclipse to develop web app
This problem is not related to GWT. Just provide links to files in your app. When a user clicks on link, user's browser/PC will decide what to do with a file. It will either open the file within a browser (PDF, images, some video and music files depending on a browser), or it will offer to save them.

Is it possible to browse the file system and upload the files on UIWebView in iPhone?

In the web page, I have file upload widget. I need to show this web page on UIWebView. Is it possible to browse the file system and upload the pdf, doc, xls files?
Note: this answer was correct when written in 2012 and iOS 5 was current. iOS 6 introduced media uploads and iOS 8 allowed arbitrary file uploads.
No is the short answer. iOS has no user accessible file-system.
At WWDC they announced the ability to upload pictures in iOS6 but there is no publically available information on how that works.
You could do it by interacting directly with the website using the lower level tools (NSURLConnection, etc) and creating your own "open" dialog.
iOS grants the webView no means to browse the file system, so no you will not be able to use the normal upload mechanism in UIWebView
You will have to present some API to your web server that allows you to send images as POST
The answer would be NO, since the webview runs in a different sandbox as compared to native applications.
Also there is no accessible file system mechanism like android for iOS.
Even native application have very limited file access pertaining to only their own and certain user directories like tmp, documents etc.

There is limited support for declaring custom URL schemes. Have a look at the answer to a question I asked previously.
