Yes, I mentioned earlier in the thread that I tried the WebStart demo
with XP, not OSX. I've been a Mac user since the first days, but have
always done Java development mostly on Windows. I'm trying to learn
developing on the OSX platform, but I'm presently mystified by much of
what happens there, so I tend to do my research on my Windows PC.
BTW, I'm using the demo found here:
http://javadesktop.org/jdic/demo/TrayIcon/trayicon.jnlp
That JNLP file has no resources for Mac OS. Its entire contents:
Here's a case in point about being mystified on OSX. I ran the WebSTart
demo for TrayIcon on OSX 10.4, where I have JRE 1.4, J2SE5, and J2SE6
installed. The demo fails to launch, and in the error details window I
see the JNLP file that you pointed out has no OSX resource element. But
there's also an Exception tab in that Window. So I checked that, and
it's a NoClassDefFound exception for class SystemTray. So it appears
WebStart is running with J2SE5 (since that's the version I see if I
type java -version in a Terminal window). But then I launched the Java
Preferences.app that came with J2SE6, and selected J2SE6 as the first
Java version to try for WebStart and desktop apps. But this seems to
have no effect, as I still get the Exception looking for class
SystemTray when I launch a WebStart app.
So is Java Preferences.app only supposed to work if I already have
J2SE6 as my default Java version? Or does it just not work? How do I
tell OSX what my default Java version should be?
