Re: Slightly OT: soft link to a java app stub?



indeed. thanks to Mac OS X's schizophrenia, aliases are not recognised as links by Terminal, and links are not recognised by the Finder as aliases.

i got a different error trying to launch the java application stub directly from the command line --

[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed loading MRJApp.properties file
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed while getting Resource/Java directory
[LaunchRunner Error] No main class specified
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.run(LaunchRunner.java:112)
at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.callMain(LaunchRunner.java:50)
at apple.launcher.JavaApplicationLauncher.main(JavaApplicationLauncher.java:61)


mainly i think because it can't locate the bundle, despite the fact that the executable is inside it. is this a bug?

Apple regards Terminal users as second class citizens anyway ;-)



Hi,

(Apologies if this is offtopic for the list)

I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running java app. I have a java application (oXygen XML editor). I have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so:

/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /path/to/file.xml

I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir):

$ oxy /path/to/file.xml

thanks for any tips,
-Rob

p.s. any tips on a better forum to post a question like this is appreciated too
