Thanks, Cameron,

The goal being simply to allow me to maintain several vocabulary files simultaneously, I am afraid you would suggest I should have make my application capable of dealing with multiple windows.
Being slightly lazy, I thought allowing multiple instances would be the faster-to-achieve option.
However, I guess, there is no flag for "multiple-instances-allowed" or sth?


Thanks,
Ede

Being an xcode rookie, I have created a small cocoa-java app with xcode.
Now I have exported the application package and everything works fine.


However, only one instance of the application can be started by double-clicking the app package's icon out of the finder.
I would like to have one instance for every double click.
Does anyone know what I would have to change to achieve the desired behavior?

This is normal (and hence desirable) behaviour on OS X. There is usually only one instance of an app running at one time. If the user wants to have two instances, he/she can duplicate the app and then run the copy as well as the original.


Maybe you want to explain what higher-level goal would be served by running several instances of your app and then we could suggest a better way of achieving that higher-level goal.
