Re: Start Swing app after users log in but minimized



In the loginwindow.plist, add the key/value

			<key>Hide</key>
			<true/>

Or is there something else?

Hello,

I'm working on a Java application that is already working on Windows but I also have to make it to
run on Mac.


Users can configure it to start automatically after they log in. It does this on Windows but I
don't know how to do it on Mac. I've already figured how to start it when a user logs in (using
~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist) but I want to start it minimized.


If it starts automatically, I don't want it to show the splash screen and I also want it to be
hidden. The application can be configured with the help of a parameter to run minimized and
without the splash screen (I've already done it on Windows).


Can I start the application and pass it that parameter directly? Do I have to create an additional
script? I've seen that other Java applications like LimeWire are using a helper application to
start after login.



Thanks, Nicu
