The /etc/bashrc, /etc/environment or a user's .profile would do it for
me (I would also like to be able to set it with a bash startup
script). Mostly I would like something that is documented clearly and
easily findable.
If it was an /etc/environment I would think the java preference tool
could read that on boot and set it to what was defined there. But
really, I haven't used a mac for about 4 or 5 years (and only for
about 24 hours now) so I am sure you guys know what is best.

Last time I tried setting $JAVA_HOME to /usr worked fine. It's been a
while but back then it was durable across version changes.

You also have to tell the linker that you are building a dynamic link library. I'm not at OS X right now and I don't remember the actual switch to use. If you wait until tomorrow I will send you the exact command line that my XCode JNILib projects use.

Dear all,
Based on some suggestions by the authors of the source code and Mikael's comments, I made some changes to the C++ code (about which I know nothing) and the compile command:
1) changed ".so" to ".jnilib" as required by OS X.
2) removed "-s" due to compiler complaints.
I'm now running the command:
g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -feliminate-unused-debug-symbols -fPIC -shared -o libjsmile.jnilib ../*.cpp -I$JINC -I../cppsmile -L../cppsmile -lsmilearn -lsmile
and I get the following error:
Undefined symbols:
"_main", referenced from:
start in crt1.10.5.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I was able to google this error but not a solution (at least not a solution for me...one solution, on the Apple site, was to use the Fortran compiler).
As I understand the issue, the compiler is complaining that there is no "main" method...but it's a library, there isn't a main method. How do I tell the compiler this? I would have thought "-shared" would have been sufficient.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Steve

Dear all,
I'm beside myself with confusion...which is not all that unusual.
I'm trying to compile a JNI wrapper for a third party library. The source code for the JNI wrapper exists as does a build file but it's for linux. Additionally, the compiled binaries for the actual code exist for OS X.
However, I cannot even begin to figure out how to make this work on OS X. I have the following command:
echo compiling JNI wrapper
g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -feliminate-unused-debug-symbols -fpic -s -shared -o libjsmile.so ../*.cpp -I$JINC -I$JINC/linux -I../cppsmile -L../cppsmile -lsmilearn -lsmile
and I don't know how to translate it into OS X speak.
For the full code, the binaries and source are here:
MacOS X (x86 & PPC): gcc 4.0 [3.87 MB]
http://genie.sis.pitt.edu/download/smile_1_1_macosx_universal_gcc_4_0.tar.gz
and the source for the JNI wrapper is here:
Source Code [59 kB]
http://genie.sis.pitt.edu/download/jsmile_src.zip
I put the binaries into the cppsmile directory of the jsmile_src.
Any pointers would be helpful. I would suppose that most of the work has been done for me and I just need to figure out the incantation for g++ (ie, I don't need to put all of this stuff into an XCode JNI project). However, if that would be easier...that's great, too.
I would also love to contribute the solution back to this project.

Thanks...worked like a charm.
I didn't quite realize I had a Linux to Mac problem rather than a JNI
problem...which does kind of make sense in retrospect. Meh, it's been
a trying month with no end in sight.
Thanks again to both Mikael and Bill.

src.jar typically lives in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/

Does this fix the issue that prevents files being dragged from iTunes
(dragging from Finder is ok) to a java application ?

Unfortunately, the only way to revert is to do a full reinstall of the
operating system.
If you reinstall your OS, and find this problem occurs again, please
file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com with your machine
configuration, and the steps you took from the point you did a clean
re-install.

Please, excuse me if this question is common knowledge.
I have a user that has Apple´s Java 6 (Leopard) selected as his
preferred java. I have sent him a java app (launched by an sh script)
that launches in Java 5. What is the right way (preferably compatible
with other unixes) for the app to honor the user preference and
launch the Java version the user has selected in Java Preferences?
He says most of his java apps launch in Java 6, but it took him some
time to realize mine was running in Java 5 (to use 3GB he needed to
put -d64 ...)
(I can give more details about the app if needed)
Thanks (I´m yet in Tiger, so I cannot easily experiment with this)

Well, if you launched /usr/bin/java, it will honour the user's pref in
Java Preferences. Note that this only works on leopard. On Tiger, /usr/
bin/java will launch 1.5 (or 1.4 in case you haven't run Software
update in a long long long time).

To: <email@hidden>
Message-ID: <email@hidden>

hi!
I just felt that I should vent a little bit.
I developed an desktop application in java. Initially for the pc , the idea was to create a macintosh version using the same (or similar code). This was my first time that I was doing something like this, so I expected some minor issues to come up.
At first it was no big deal, some of my gui's had to be redesigned to fit the mac design scheme. Also I had to do some very minor backtracking to java 1.4.12 - simply because I wanted to develop for the lowest grade mac that I could (with os 10.3.9 or higher). THis involved some extremely minor touchups to code!
So far this is a fantastic experience, in a couple of days I was able to get the majority of my application running on the mac!
Then it turned for the worse - I had a graphics2d item that appeared on the screen for a "preview" of what their program output would be. This became one of 2 major headaches. What i finally discovered, is that by setting the a non-default font for text I was printing out - I needed to adjust every piece of text that I had printed out to about half. What I mean is that if I wanted to print text to coordintate space 10, 20. I needed to write it out to space 5,10. Why?!?!?! It made no sense to me. Default text writes out in the proper place, and when a font was set I needed to print out to half the space. PLUS, at times ridiculous things would happen. for instance I would print line 1 at 5,10. and the next line which should be printed out at 15,10 under the halving rule, I would have to print to 7.5,10!
UCH! But I finally got that piece working.
Now the final output of the program takes the same information and writes it to an image double the size of the earlier image. needless to say I am still struggling with it, as the output is always non-standardized. for instance I cannot determine when to print out in the correct original pc location, or if I need to halve it, or if I need to adjust the font-metrics measurements to meet the new oddity of a (1/2 fontwidth) equalling a full font width. Therefore never being able to properly and dependably center a line of text.
I want to throw my macintosh out the window.
Anyway, sorry for venting here, but its extrememly frustrating.

We are still holding your issue open, because the drag type coming
from iTunes looks like it's something different than an ordinary file
list. Dragging from iTunes to a Cocoa open file dialog didn't work
either - only the Finder seems to know what the iTunes drag type is.
The drag-and-drop issues we believe we have addressed relate to
ordinary file lists (like what come from the Finder, or dragging a
document-proxy icon from a title bar), which had non-ASCII characters
in their paths.
Hope this clarifies,

You should be able to log into http://bugreporter.apple.com and find
out the status of the bug you filed yourself.
If you test with the J2SE 5.0 in this developer preview of Java for
Mac OS X 10.5, Update 2, I believe you should find that image
performance for images obtained though ImageIO has gotten faster. If
not, please add an update to the bug, along with the test case you
used, and we'll reopen the issue.

Long time lurked steping out to ask a question.
My partner and I have spent nearly 5 years developing a framework to
deliver sprite based 2d games in Java.
Along. The way we seem to have made a serious technology mistake. We
moved to JDK 1.5 features (especially enums). Now we seem to be very
limited in terms of where the games made in this platform can be
deployed in terms of the Mac platform.
This is especially distressing in terms of comparing our ability to
deliver on windows and Linux where we have reasonable strategies to
deliver to OS's over a decade old.
Does anyone have sugestions that don't involve regressing our entire
codebase to JDK 1.3?
Thanks in advace.
The framework is open source, and can be downloaded at:
