Hi team,
I have been working on creating a WebStart application which is going to associate a couple of file types.
However, I noticed that several web start applications, including mine are not associating files as in other operating systems.
For instance:
- No Association Warnings replacement is displayed when an application already exists associating the same type of files.
- Because of that, those files cannot be opened at the application when double click occurs.
- I should mention that Info.plist of my application indicates that those file types are associated to it, but icons are not replaced and they are keeping the previous application icons.
- If there is no previous application installed, blank icons are assigned to those files and when you try to open one, a warning message is displayed saying that "there is no application set to open the document".
I created a couple of dummy applications (attached), that can be installed via JNLP on Mac 10.6 to reproduce this behavior.
You may want to place the zip content on /Applications since JNLP codebase are pointing to that location.
I would like to know if this is an expected situation or if this is a known issue on this Mac platform (10.6).
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Arellano
