Yes, thanks Pape... buts its all this stuff that we having problems with...
Matt thinks the MRJ properties are old and I think he is right... (1st
article)
OK... new question
Where can one download the latest version of the Java Ant Jarbunder?
The last article supplies jarbundler-1.9.jar... thats what we using and it
definitely generates MRJ properties
The DTD in plist is this... is it current?
We are not on Mac... we are simply trying to target the Mac, as well as
every other platform.
Thats what Java is about... I think.
Every article that we find seems to have a slightly different story....
If someone can just point me to the current technical spec for a Mac.App
The current file structure, the DTD used in Plist... we'll do it ourselves.
Does the stub still reside at this location?
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub
Guys if these external tools are wrong... it means an external platform app
will either break, or Java developers on other systems
wont bother targeting the Mac... which makes any Jar coming in from the web,
is foreign.
All we trying to do in our apps is let the user, after having downloaded a
cool Java app and run it, click on "Make Mac.App"
Expecting a "user" to decide on properties and file associations and
classpaths needed.... is silly.
A Mac.App is a very cool thing, its not complex, and its actually very
light... there is no reason an Java application shouldnt
go... oh look you on a Mac... would you like a Macified version of me.
In fact it seems necessary because file associations are inside these
things...
When I talk to MACers... the assumption seems to be that its developed,
deployed and used on a Mac???
In a Mac App in Info.Plist
I see only the
com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name
is set.... is that because "useScreenMenuBar" can be assumed
automatic...
================
Is there anything else that we should add to make it nice for Mac users
(Java programs targeting all platforms)?
Not trying to integrate to the nTH degree, just dont want Mac user to go
...
what is that?
================
Wondering why
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
Doesnt do this automatically on the Mac?
Thanks....
