I am trying to get a simple native Cocoa API method to work via JNI. I want to try to hide all other applications.

I seem to have two choices, by calling -hideOtherApplications on either NSApplication or NSWorkspace. But neither seems to be working for me.


I coded it like this...

import macnative.jnidirect.cocoa.application.NSApplication;

public class AppTesting {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		NSApplication app = NSApplication.sharedApplication();
		app.hideOtherApplications(0);
	}
}

When run from Terminal it did nothing. When run from my application it appeared to work. I had to quit the application to get the other applications to show back up. I've seen this before and think it may be because the application provides a full-blown AppKit derived Swing/AWT/GUI'd application that terminal does not provide.

<shame-less plug> Use my java command line application to test your Cocoa JNI using quick and dirty command line tests It is actually a full-blown AppKit derived SwingAWT/GUI'd application that looks and works something like Terminal. </shame-less plug>

Or anyhow test somehow from your own full-application and don't expect everything to work right from simple CLI based tools.
