Application does not start (on some Mac OS X 10.2 systems)

Hello,

I have an editor written in Java packed as an .app. The application runs fine on Mac OS X 10.1.

On some Mac OS X 10.2 systems, the application just displays the dock icon and the system menu and nothing else. The user can only quit. This situation is persistent: there are systems that always allow the editor to run, and others that do not.

I verified two installations, one working, the other not working, and there were no differences in files or permissions.

Other aspect. I have inserted a debug section creating a file in the user home in the very begining of the program. The file was never created. I also tried to connect via a socket to a logging server, but with no success. I think the main class is not executed.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Dan

Hi, all.

I have a .sh file that launches one of my programs. I do not know what directory the jar will be in, save that the .sh file will be in the same place. The current .sh file reads:

java -Xms128MB -Xmx512MB -jar test.jar -propfile=test.properties

and works just fine when launched from the directory it, test.jar, and test.properties are in.

I just turned it into a .command file, and while it still works from the working directory, double clicking it launches it from somewhere else, causing it to fail.

Any suggestions on how I can find the directory of the .command file launched, so I can find my jar?

I cannot use a plain jar with manifest, as I need to send the options in, and building an executable bundle for it would work, but will be a bit of a pain given that the jar is generated by the nightly build on our linux boxes.

Installers are not really an option for many reasons.

Suggestions?

Scott
