How do I run Java7 Applications from the desktop

I have a large application developed under the Eclipse RCP platform that I'd like to run on my Mac Pro.
Previously, this was a Java 6 program, that I just clicked on in the finder, and it would start.
This is a packaged app, not a applet or webpage.  The authors just recently updated the program to require Java 7 (of course - if it ain't broke - fix it).
I installed Java 7  on my computer, and if I type Java -version it returns with Java 1.7.0_40-b43 as a version.  However, if I display the application in the desktop, and try to start it, it says it only has Java 6 installed, and I need to update to Java 7.  The Finder knows that it's an app, but the version of software displayed by the application is 1.6.0_65.
Any way to make the Finder use the right version?
Later-
David

It seems that the JDK proposed by Oracle does not include the possibility to run bundled applications directly (dont know why). I've succeeded in a similar case by following the instructions posted here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361#c20
Hope this helps !

  • I want to run a report from the desktop

    I want to run a report from the desktop using RWRUN60
    What all has to be installed on it to make it work
    I have 10g client on mine and it works but I can't install that on all the clients
    Is there a little install package for this?
    Thanks

    RWRUN60 is a part of "Oracle From6i Developer Suit". If you want to run report on desktop client than you have to install "Form6i Developer Suit" on every client where report is needed.
    I was facing the same issue and it was a difficult job to install "Form6i Developer Suit" on each client. So, I done the followings.
    1. Configured Oracle Application Express
    2. Created Required Application in Oracle Application Express
    3. Installed "Oracle 10g Developer Suit" and configured "PDF Report Services"
    4. Now, each user is running the application through URL and I have saved my time of installations.

  • How can i run an application from an external hard drive on my macbook air, since I've got less space on my SSD

    Ive got a 128GB SSD on my macbook Air and i know as time goes on ill eventually run out of space so i want to know if their suggestions on how to run applications like google chrome, Skype etc on an external hard drive with out installing int on my SSD.

    Double click on them.
    You could create Aliases and store them in a convenient place.
    Drag the folder with the apps to your Dock and launch them from the folder on your Dock.
    Make sure Spotlight indexes your external disk, then use Command-Space -> name of app -> return

  • How can I run another application from my Form

    Dear Gurus,
    Can anybody tell how can I run a non oracle application from my Forms..
    Can it be done thru DDE package..
    If yes then how..??
    Can it be done like Excel calling thru DDE package???
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards
    Swati..

    Keep in mind that HOST will execute where the runtime is located. This means for Forms 6.x and older, if the application is running as client/server, HOST will correctly execute on the client. If your application (Forms 6.x and newer) is run via a web browser, HOST will execute on the server and not the client machine.
    Without knowing exactly which Forms version you are using and where you want the call to be executed it will be difficult to offer suggestions.

  • How Do You "Move" Items/Applications from the Mac Hard Drive?

    Hi,
    As the subject line suggests I need to "move" things from my regular Mac Hard Drive to the additional Hard Drive I installed. My normal (forgive my lack of technical talk) hard drive is almost full. I would like to move things like iTunes, iPhoto etc to my new hard drive (1TB) so that I can free up space on my current more regularly used hard drive. Is there an easy way to do this?
    Ali

    There's various approaches you can take. Personally I would try to leave applications and the system on the main drive and just move data files to another drive. Some applications really want to be run from the main drive and will become cranky if you put them elsewhere because things aren't where they expect them to be.
    Moving files is often just a matter of dragging them to the new place. Note that if this new place is another drive the files get copied and you will have to delete the originals from the original drive once you are done copying.
    Applications can have a complex structure with bits and pieces of files all over the place, some may be invisible. While these can be copied, as I said before it is often best to leave them on the main drive.
    Just for your information, you posted your software question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Power Mac G5 > Power Mac G5 (tower) hardware questions area. Your computer information says you are running a Mac Pro and Snow Leopard (which won't run on a G5). It doesn't really matter in this case but if you have a platform specific question in future, for fastest response you might want to make sure it gets into the correct forum.

  • Running Shell scripts from the desktop

    Hi,
    I'm from the UNIX world rather than the mac one so have written a number of shell scripts. Lets call them foo.sh and bar.bash for the sake of argument.
    These are sitting in a folder on my desktop
    I can happily open a terminal session and run the scripts - and they work as I expect them to.
    If I open a Finder window and double click on the icons for the scripts what happens is that it opens TextEdit.
    Theres two things I'd like to change
    A. I'd like to change the behaviour so that the scripts run when I double clike them rather than opening an editor (possibly in a terminal window )
    B. I'd like to be able to change the editor from TextEdit to one I'm more used to...(I've installed Vim/Gvim which I quite like).
    A. - Haven't managed to get anywhere trying to solve this....
    B. - So far my attempts have got as far as...
    1...
    right-click -> open with -> Other -> select vim.app
    tick Always open as
    click open
    The file then opens in a vim window.
    however if I now close the vim application and double clike the file icon then the file opens in TextEdit again
    2...
    Right Click -> Get Info -> Open with VIM -> add -> Change all
    message appears
    'Are you sure you want to change all your Vimm.app documents to open with the application "vim.app"
    This change will apply to all Vim.app documents with extension ".sh" '
    click continue
    In the Info pane the 'Open with' selection widget immediately changes to say 'Open with: TextEdit.app'
    So I'm a bit stumped, can you help!
    Regards
    Mark
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Thanks to both people who answered.
    You both gave me useful workarounds to my problem.
    Renaming the scripts to be 'foo.command' was very hepful and useful to know. I tried this and it does indeed work. I may use this in the future.
    I also had a play around with applescript and the automator to achieve similar results.
    I agree that double clicking to run the file and also edit it is mutually exlcusive - I'm sort of trying to work out how I could make it do 'either/or' as I choose. In the Windows world i'd have the option of setting 'open' to run the script (assuming I'd got cygwin installed and had assiciated it) OR 'Edit with vim' if I wanted to edit the file (assuming vim was installed!).
    Unresolved issue is that I'm still unable to get VIM to be associated with a .sh file.
    The way I would envisage it working in Mac world would be to be able to right click on foo.sh -> Open with... and have a list to select from immediately there like..
    Text Edit
    Vim
    Terminal (default)
    and be able to somehow add and remove apps from the list and change which is the default.
    My issue is that I don't seem to know how to get other apps than TextEdit to appear in the list - I suspect I need a better understanding of how these file/application associations work and are configured.

  • How do I run my application without the java prefix?

    Hi, I am new to Java but have been created some cool applications that run in the terminal.
    The problem is that every time I run my program I have to type "java +<program name>+", even after I compile the program with javac.
    My question is how do I make it so I can just type "<program name>" without the prefix of "java"?

    Write a shell script that includes the command you want to run.
    Edited by: pbrockway2 on Apr 5, 2008 3:27 PM
    I guess you're using Windows (or you wouldn't be asking ;). If so, shell scripts are called "batch files". Have a read of this:
    [www.computerhope.com/batch.htm|http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm]
    (Executable jar files are another approach, but they are quite a bit more work. If your intention is to run a particular command like
    java MyAppthen a batch file is easiest.)

  • How can I run  other applications at the same time as downloading email

    When I open my computer if I check mail on entourage first and there are 30+ messages I can not use other apps at the same time as the mail is downloading, is there a way to have email operating in the background. Curiously if I am using another application and a mail comes in , the first app runs with mail running in the background , Why is this not the case when Entourage is the first program running and it is downloading mail.

    http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Entourage/ Alternatively, don't launch it at login, launch it after logging in.

  • How to call an external application from the current one

    Hi Guys,
    Im not sure if/how this is possible.
    For example:
    I have two projects : Project1 and Project 2.
    When I click on a button in Project2, Project1 needs to be launced. That is, the Main class of Project1 needs to be triggered.
    How do I do this? I have tried everything.
    Kind Regards,
    Christiaan

    There is no problem with handling multiple Frame with a javaFX app. Some features are needed to improve that, like AlwaysOnTop, modal, ...
    For exemple it can be used like a splashscreen.
    If your question was about launching anything on your machine, the regular java API can do that.

    How can we run Oracle Reports from the web - for example from a portal such as "Gateway"
    This is a univeristy that implements Banner - so can we run them from within Banner?

    Yes, of course. And for running the reports-server you need an OAS. Maybe here is a good starting point http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
