Re: [platform-swt-dev] MAC error
|
Thanks, Jacob!
I've never tried to edit the whole bundle
anywhere but a Mac. :)
It was the plist file I was worried
about - but I see now that it's just XML. Mac opens it in a fancy "plist
editor". :)
And you are correct that you don't technically
have to have the disk image to deploy the app.
Maybe the customer can help with testing.
:)
Thanks for the help,
Carolyn

You actually don't need a Mac to perform the important
steps of the guide. A bundle is just a plain directory with an .app extension.
In the bundle you have text files you can open in any text editor, your
own application and SWT specific files. The only thing in that guide you
can't do without a Mac is opening/creating disk images and of course run
the application/bundle.

Why yes MAC are ‘special’.
Thanks very much but I do not have access to a MAC to develop on. I will
have to code it blindly and pray it works. I wish I could run a virtual
Mac and not pay a kings ransom for a one time dev machine.
Have a great day,

Macs are special. :)
You have to be actually running on a Mac in order to follow the instructions
on http://www.eclipse.org/swt/macosx/
So, the required step 1 is: go to a Mac.
Step 2: run the Safari web browser and go to http://www.eclipse.org/swt/macosx/
Step 3: follow the instructions on that page exactly. You can use the TextEdit
program to edit text files. For non-text files, just double-click them
and the Mac will open an editor on them. Just change the example names
to match your application, and you should be good to go.
Maybe your customer can do this for you if you do not have access to a
Mac.
Good luck,
Carolyn
Yes and sadly I think reading ancient Sumerian would make more sense.
I was under the impression that using the export->Runnable Jar file
would handle most of the heavy lifting. I am not a lazy person but I am
out of my field with the MAC OS. This program is VERY simple. It is using
a jar, a text file and a PDF. I did this to ensure compatibility.
Please let me know if I am just flaking on this._______________________________________________
