Is Mac OSX 10.3 fully supported
by SWT 3.0? If so could someone
reply with a sample startup command
that picks up the correct JVM
and is run from a CDROM drive
mounted CD? (i.e. the jars and
native library and OSX.command file
are all on the CD and the app runs
from the CD and the CD is a standard
CD filesystem (readable by Linux, Win,
etc.)

Many thanks,
Heitzso

Hi Heitzso,

SWT 3.0 runs fine on my 10.3.

Assuming I have burned an ISO CD (with Joliet extensions) called
"VarEditor", here's my var.command file (watch out for the line
breaks...):
--begin--
#!/bin/sh

cd /Volumes/VarEditor/kdos/p3

../java_swt -ea -classpath
P3.jar:../lib/osgi.jar:../lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar:../lib/swt-mac .jar:../lib/
swt-pi.jar:../lib/runtime.jar:../lib/jface.jar
-Djava.library.path=../lib -Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties
com.perspectix.kaba.sbpb.var.Main
--end--

For an SWT appliction on the Mac, you'll need the special java_swt
wrapper application which is in Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS. Otherwise
your app will not run properly with the Aqua window manager. java_swt
will find the first java vm in the user's path. One hopes it's 1.4.
Otherwise, you might have to add an extra PATH command to the shell
script to be sure.

Of course, if you wanted to be nice to your Mac users, you'd wrap
everything in an application package (just like the Eclipse.app itself)
so they wouldn't even have to see the terminal window.

N.B. the cdrom is a read-only file system if you're planning on writing
log files or whatever...

Hope that helps,
Will
