Jocab,
Thanks very much for your helpful explanation.
Have you had success with developing cross OS applications?
Carolyn,
Thank you very much for your help.

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._______________________________________________
