Note that jabreHost.py needs to be executable

[joelostblom]

I installed jabref-latest via pacman in Arch and then installed the JabFox extension through Mozilla's addon website. The addon would get stuck on Send to JabRef... and in Firefox in the JabFox preferences, I would see Error: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port.

I had to make the change indicated in this PR and set executable bit of /opt/JabRef/lib/jabrefHost.py manually (I noticed this is already the case in the main repo, but it was not in the file installed on my system).

Related to #110 and #75.

Jabref upstream uses all lowercase, so it's an issue in the AUR PKGBUILD.
The issue is that it's using the tarfile (that has the uppercase).
The deb/rpm, that are built with jpackage, use the lowercase (same as the package name).
I think the issue should be solved in the AUR package

Thanks again! One small suggestion, then we can merge.

Can you please also add a small note pointing out that the path in the json maybe needs to be corrected as well. The path in step 4 then needs to be changed accordingly.

[joelostblom]

Thanks for the explanation! I suggested changes to the aur PKBUILD.

To avoid that people installing directly from the tarball or using it as a basis for creating a package will run into these problem, would an option be to change the generated tarball name from JabRef to jabref? Then additional note that I just added would be superfluous as well, but maybe this would cause issues elsewhere?

@joelostblom @LyzardKing sorry for the long silence on my part. Is this still an issue with JabRef 5.0 which was released very recently?

[LyzardKing]

I don't think so.
It should have been fixed a while back.

Ok, then I'm closing this PR now. @joelostblom Thanks a lot for your contribution nonetheless. (If the issue does persist, please feel free to reopen this PR and ping me.)
