Re: Jar Bundler and icons



I'm pretty sure this is just an interaction between the Finder and Jar Bundler - it doesn't always recognize the custom icon when you rebuild. One simple test is to duplicate the bundled application in the Finder see if the icon shows up; if it doesn, then we're on the same page.

As an alternative, try to touch the .app bundle (from Terminal), or to move the application to a different folder. I think also logging out/in will make the icon show up.

I'm a long time Java developer, but have only had my Mac for a week

I have a small Java application that consists of a few jar files that
I bundled together into a Mac application. The app ran beautifully the
first time around - much better than on Windows or Linux where I have
to have a batch file/script to set everything up (as well as deal with
the possibility of no JVM installed).

Anyway, I wanted to be more Mac-like, so I tried to associate an icon
file. I hacked together an .icns file, and pointed to it in Bundler.
The application that gets created does not have this icon - what I
mean is the thing that gets clicked on to launch doesn't have this
icon. The icon that shows is some generic application icon, very
similar to the icon on the Applications folder.

However, when I launch the application, my icon DOES show up in the
dock, and it does get bigger and smaller when I mouse over the dock
(very cool).

Anyway, I have no idea how to fix this or what to look at, or even if
this is a real problem. Please let me know how to proceed on this.
