I've run in several problemens using /usr/bin/open from my java application.
I have 2 general cases:
1: if external application is not defined: Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "/usr/bin/open", "my file name here" });
=> works
2: if external application is defined: Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "/usr/bin/open", "-a" "'path_to_external_applicaiton_which_is_100%_executable_and_works", "'my_file_here'" });
=> sometimes ok, but mostly "uhm, wtf?"..
In case 2 I have these problems: 1: external applicatin is not in the $PATH and contains a backslash{es} 2: external application is in the "/Applications/" and have spaces in the name
When using the same call from terminal, I have this error message: $ /usr/bin/open -a '/User/me/tmp/blah\_blah.sh' 'file:/var/tmp/image.jpg' LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -1081 for the file file:/var/tmp/image.jpg.
I'm running OS X 10.5.4 and java 1.5.0_13-b05-237
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Sergiy
