Ahh, my bad here. I saw the Java part and somehow missed the
AppleScript part. I've never really combined the two so the
combination got overlooked and I assumed that your message went to the
wrong list.
Still, that simple AppleScript shouldn't be a problem. I entered your
AppleScript into the Script Editor application and it ran just fine in
every way I could discern. If there is a problem it's most likely in
the Java code or in how Java accesses the AppleScript. I would still
hit the Java list and see if anyone there has any experience in using
AppleScript through Java.
Here is an article on using AppleScript in Java, is this where you got
most of this script from?
<
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/02/25/apple_scripting.html>
I ran both your script and the final script from the article and had no
problems. Here is my output from your program:
--------
myScript.executing:
tell application "Finder"
get the name of every item in the desktop
end tell
Elapsed time = 0.164 seconds
Starting list of items on the desktop:
Curly
Unreal Tournament 2004 for MacOS X
AppleScriptTest.class
AppleScriptTest.java
testas.class
testas.java
--------
I get similar output every time I run your program.
What happens when you run this script from Script Editor:
--------
tell application "Finder"
get the name of every item in the desktop
end tell
--------
How long does the script take to execute from Script Editor?

Hmm. Interesting thought. The problem here is definitely with
Applescript, though you're right that it may have to do with the java
interface to applescript so I'll go ahead and post it there too.
Thanks,
Seth

You have the wrong list. This list is for AppleScript, not Java. You

I recently upgraded to panther and some scripts I ran in the past
using java now hang or take an unusually long time (20 min?) to run.
In attempting to debug, I've figured out that the scripts seem to be
waiting for (2 * timeout) seconds before returning control to java.
Interestingly enough, the script included below runs fast the very
first time I run it after restarting my machine, but after that it
always takes 2 minutes to run. (default applescript timeout is 1
minute) If I wrap the script in 'with timeout of 5 seconds ... end'
then the script will finish in just over 10 seconds.
The main script I'm trying to run involves Filemaker and I think it
hangs completely, but it's possible that it's waiting 2 minutes many,
many, times and so I never see it finish. (I've waited over 1/2
hour).
Any idea of what could be the problem? I'm running os 10.3.3
