I think it worths implementing a separate strategy to handle MAC OS since it has e very specific behavior. Handling files during the discovery process would make it very time consuming. Any thoughts ??

Actually it shows, but you can't select it. The problem to enable the selection of files on the browse dialog is that our importers are implemented to search inside folders, not files. Even though the app is a folder in the end, I'm not sure how the importers will behave properly. This will also enable the user, for example to select an .txt file and will have to waste time trying to import nothing in the end.
ahh... so it doesn't show in the dialog... Hmm... That is more of a UI
issue than an importer issue, no?

Hi Craig,
as you know, to the mac user an .app file is not an folder, its
similar to an .exe so i guess the proper behavior on the folder browser
is to consider it as a file. Since we are filtering for folders only,
we cant select the app;
Thinking about it, I think it should work fine to point to the app....
It is just a file system folder and the import logic will recursively
search from the specified folder.

browse option would work...
The
wtk3.0
was released as an .app and the file browser cannot select it
for importing on our wizard. Although, if you explore the package
contents, you can find inside Contents/Resources/bin the emulator
binary.
Unfortunately, we will need to create a new importer.
Does MTJ support the recently released Java Platform Micro Edition
Software Development Kit 3.0 for MacOS EA ?
I'm guessing the answer is no, since I've not seen any discussion on
the mailing list. So, anyone planning on writing an importer ?
If not I might be up for giving it a bash, might find some time next
week, or the following... was thinking I could probably morph the
MPowerPlayer importer. But if anyone else is working on it, I'm up for
helping / testing etc.
