Icons and JAR files

How do I change the desktop icon assoicated with a JAR file?

I would like to know it too.
This is a way that give you almost the same thing, but you'd probably already know:
You can click with the right on your jar File, create a shortcut to your Jar File, click with the right on the shortcut you have just created, proprieties, change icon.

  • Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

    I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
    I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
    What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
    If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.

  • Are JDev autogenerated paths needed to create ear, war and jar files ?

    Hi
    We want to create ear, war and jar files from Ant build script generated from JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.
    We also like to use ojdeploy with it.
    In the process of creating build.xml files from projects, we see these paths.
    We also have standalone Weblogic installed with ADF runtime 11.1.1.7
    Questions:
    1- Do we need these path ids to generate ear, jar, war files properly and then deploy the ear to our standalone Weblogic so that our webapp can run ok ?
    2- Why are they generated, if they are not needed
    From research, it appears that we don't need these paths except to keep ant targets of init, compile, exec etc with ojdeploy.
    3- Is that true ?
    We are afraid that because no paths are listed in the build.xml, then when we deploy the ear app, it cant use the ADF runtime on the standalone WLS.
    Thanks in advance for answering.
    Sincerely
    eg of paths generated below:
      <path id="library.SOA.Designtime"/>

    There are two different things here. Using ant to build the class files and then building an ear from the class files and other resources.
    The building part needs the libraries if you use javac as compiler. Building an ear file only needs the path to the jar files which are packed into the ear.
    In this sense you need the pages you see in the build.xml.
    Then Jdev offers another way: ojdeploy. This tool is a Jdev without a gui.
    You can use this tool and build the classes for each project of a workspace and to build build war and ear file. This is just like you click the rebuild button for each project and then the deploy the projects and application. If you use this approach you don't need the generated path ids as the whole build process is done inside Jdev as it's done on your developer pc.

  • StarOffice 8 CDE Icon and Document File Extension Associations

    I recently upgraded to Solaris 10 (5/08). With previous versions of Solaris, I installed StarOffice 7 from CD and it placed the nice little icon in the CDE desktop panel and it created StarOffice associations to all the typical office file extensions (ie. .doc, .xls, etc.). I would like to use the StarOffice 8 that is bundled with Solaris 10. Is there an installation step or some other way to automatically setup the CDE icon and the file extension associations?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I came across the same problem on windows XP SP2 machines.
    I created a registry key that forces the file associations as follows:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    &#91;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.doc\shell&#93;

  • Protecting jnlp and jar files

    Hi
    I would like to know how to protect the jnlp and jar files against anyone who just types the URL in the browser Address bar.
    Thanks
    Steven

    Haven't tried, but if your jnlp app must check for updates on every startup and your files (both jnlp file and jars) are in a password protected folder (using digest or plain authentication over a SSL connection, for example) then you may be in trouble. Will JWS recognize this situation on an update check and prompt for login/password? (related to web server's folders).

    Add the .class file containing the public static void main(...) method to the project by clicking on the + toolbar button in the navigator, open the project properties and properly set the additional classpath then right click on the .class in the navigator and say run. It should work, I've just tried it.

  • Icon for Jar File?

    Is it possible to include an Icon in a Jar file
    that will be displayed for the jar file instead
    of a default Icon give to it by Windows 2000? If
    so, how is it done?
    Thanks

    no it's not possible as the JAR file does not know anything about the operating system. this is windows dependend. if you want a custom icon for one jar file, create a shortcut to the jar and adjust the icon of this shortcut.

  • Storing Icons in JAR Files

    As per the optimization best practices for web deployed forms , Image Icons( which are GIF images) on the buttons can be placed in a JAR file so that it can be cached by the client side JVM . Can anybody help me out and tell me the steps of how to do it. Thanx in advance.

    Sorry, you're correct it does need to be on the "archive_jini=" as well!
    If your using rollover images, I found the best way to get these working was just to include them in the Rolloverbutton.jar file. I did this by loading the rolloverbutton project into JDeveloper, adding the icons into the project and re-deploying. There are some good notes at http://otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade to explain how to generate JPCs.
    If your using standard Forms Iconic buttons...
    Once your form has loaded, double click the Java Console Icon in the system tray, you should see lines that state;
    Loading http://<myserver>/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar
    Loading http://<myserver>/forms90/java/calendar.jar
    Loading http://<myserver>/forms90/java/rolloverbutton.jar
    Loading http://<myserver>/forms90/java/gs.jar
    If these are loading ok, in the Java console hit the 5 key. Then re-load the form so that images are reloaded and check for lines that state;
    "Loaded image" It should state "Loaded Image Jar:http://<myserver>/forms90/java/gs.jar!<image>.gif."
    If it gives a different URL, then the imagebase must be set incorrectly.

  • Deploying icons as jar file in Forms 9i

    We (Cancer Research UK) don't quite understand what is happening -
    We followed the guidelines in the white paper "Oracle 9IAs Forms Services - How to Deploy Icons"
    to deploy the images in a jar file:
    Altered the formsweb.cfg file to contain
    archive_jini=f90_jinit.jar, our_images.jar
    imagebase=codebase
    Seemed to work, jar file downloaded to browser (IE 6 ) ok , web deployed form shows toolbar icons, great..
    However, when we removed an existing entry in orion-web.xml which maps our application/icon directory
    or remove the *.gif files from this directory, our web deployed form no longer shows the icon images.
    Does it still need these to be present on the server, if we direct it to use cached images ?
    We are test running just the Application server components installed with the IDs 9.0.2 on a Windows 2000 server.

    Hi Steve,
    I have the exact same problem. The jar is downloaded and everything is 100% best practises, but there is no way I can make the damn system use the files in the JAR file. No matter if imagebase=codebase: it will only use files on the server, and if I remove the gif files they don't show up.
    I think there must be a glitch in the system somewhere. I don't completely understand this part of it: the codebase is mapped to /forms90/java - but how does that add up when you put your files in c:\my_gifs (as detailed in Best Practices section of the Deploying Icons paper). How does the server know where to look when codebase are two different places - I'm thinking it can't for some reason.
    My Apache/Apache/logs/error_log clearly states that files (real files) are not found in c:\my_gifs if I remove them from the file system. The JAR is downloaded, but the server doesn't use it.
    However, most people have all their gif files in the same folder as their images.jar file, so they don't ever discover that the server ignores the jar and uses the files instead.

  • Icons in .jar files...

    Hi ,
    I have configured successfully and see some icons on buttons. Next day , i took the .jar file , copied it in \java folder and i have configured appropriately the formsweb.cfg file - calling this .jar file among others- according to my system (where the icons are displayed as wanted)...
    But the icons are not appeared in the 'destination' computer.....
    What may be the problem....????
    Should i have to make an archive (jar file) in the 'destination' computer ... as i have done on my own...?????
    NOTE: both computers run on Windows XP , and Dev10g have been installed....The only difference is that the one has Oracle10gXE... whereas the other Oracle10gEE
    Many thanks,
    Simon

    Note that the filenames within the JAR are case sensitive. So, if the files in the JAR have lowercase names, make sure the property in Forms also uses a lowercase name. Also remove the extension (if any) from the icon property in Forms.
    If that's all ok and it still does not work, have a look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf. Looking at your question it seems you've done what the white paper says, but you never now what you might pick up from reading it (again).

  • Forms - Icons without jar file

    Hi!
    I´m trying con configure my standalone weblogic (10.3.6), running in development mode,
    to find my forms 11 applications icons without use a jar file.
    So, at formsweb.cfg i changed imageBase to documentBase and at Registry.dat i set
    default.icons.iconpath=/img/ 
    default.icons.iconextension=gif 
    Now I´m trying to map /img/ to may local directory (/img/ -> C:\repo\img)
    I tried to change httpd.conf and didn´t work. When I access http://localhost:7001/img/myimage.gif, it returns 404.
    Alias /img/ "C:\repo\img\" 
    <Directory "C:\repo\img"> 
        AllowOverride None 
        Order allow,deny 
        Allow from all 
    </Directory> 
    Then, i tried to change forms.conf
    AliasMatch /img/(..*) "C:\repo\img\$1" 
    But No change at all.
    Does anyone know how to create a alias in weblogic in development mode?

    If you chose the "Development" install type you will not have OHS although you might have its config file (httpd.conf).  Further, creating an Alias in WLS is a little more painful than doing it in OHS.  My recommendation is that you keep it simple for testing.  You can use an existing Alias and extend it.  For example consider the Forms \java directory (e.g.
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java)
    Simply add a sub-directory to it and store your images there.  In the form, simply reference the complete image name without a path.  For example:  myimage.jpg.  Then in the Registry.dat include the virtual path to the images.  So, here are the steps.
    1.  Create a sub-directory C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java\images
    2.  Copy your images to this directory
    3.  In the form, refer to the images by name only.  If your images use a different extension from what is stored in Registry.dat, include the extension in the form.  If the extension is the same then ommit it.
    4.  In Registry.dat, set default.icons.iconpath=/forms/java/images/  (be sure to include the trailing slash)
    5.  On the client machine, close all open browsers and open the Java Control Panel.  Clear the jar cache ("Temporary Internet Files")
    Your done.  Because the form does not have a hard coded path to the images, you can easily move the forms to production without worrying about the need to change the code to handle the image location.
    Oh, one last thing.... If you are using a newer JRE version you will get a securty warning suggesting that there may be unsafe code being executed.  It will then ask if you want to Block or Don't Block.  This dialog is the result of retrieving your image from a source other than the applet jar.  You will need to select Don't Block in order for it to work correctly.  This is another reason why we (Oracle) recommend using signed jar files.

  • Iconic (gif) jar files

    Just curious, how does forms know the name of the jar file in the codebase directory to search when loading icon (gifs). Or does it search every jar file in that directory?
    thx,
    r.b.

    > how does forms know the name of the jar file in the

    You add the jar file to the archive_jini parameter. The gif in the jar file has a path. (If there's no path, then it's just /.) Your serverApp file (registry.dat) has the path where the icons reside.
    So if your registry.dat file has, say, /myicons as the path, then your jar file, called appicons.jar contains the icons in the path /myicons.
    You specify appicons.jar in the archive_jini parameter. That way it gets downloaded to the client.
    Now the client has the jar, which has the icons. And client has the path. Voila!
    > and what happens when it doesn't find a specific gif
    in the jar file?
    Don't do that. :)
    Seriously, I don't know what happens. I suspect the Form runs fine but there's no image where the icon should be.
    You may get an error in the java console, I'm not sure.
