Re: Start Swing app after users log in but minimized



On minimised vs hidden... on the Mac you don't normally minimise apps... it just wastes space in the Dock.
If you really did want it minimised, then you'd need to do something in your app

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
