Java application development on Mac OSX

Does anyone do Java application development on a Mac? I know that Mac has their own version of Java and I was wondering if there were any difficulties of Java development on a Mac. I'm considering a switch from Windows to Mac and want to evaluate how it will impact my Java development. I currently use Eclipse 3.2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Java development on a Mac?
Thanks

I'm no Java3d expert but i'm quite sure java is slow on macs, as the java for mac technology is quite bad. Even 2d games with few sprites go slowly on my mac, it's a shame. However this might change as Apple is working quite hard on getting java to work properly, ( mainly because if java becomes popular the macs will lose their incompatibility problem! )

  • Regarding java application bundle for Mac OSx

    Hi,
    I made a java application to distribute on Mac osx. I created folder .app structure according to mac application.
    The application is being successfully launched by double click on Myapplication.app on Mac Osx which contains Java5.
    Its not launching the application on Mac with Java6. I searched for the problem then I found that the current shipped JavaApplicationStub file is for Java5. I copied the JavaApplicationStub file from the Mac (which have java6) from /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub" and replace it in my application bundle. Now application is being launched in java6 with double click.
    I am looking for a solution which works on all Mac with different jre versions. I search for this.
    http://www.informagen.com/JarBundler/StubFile.html
    here I found, that we can create symbolic link.... I have no idea about this how to do that. I am not using any jarbundler to bundle my application.
    How can I get my application working on all Macs with different version of jre ?
    Thanks

  • Double click to open .sql files with sql developer on mac osx

    hi,
    I am trying to double click a .sql file and open it with SQL Developer on Mac OSX lion. I have associated .sql files to SQL Developer. On clicking the file it opens the SQL developer application but does not open the actual .sql file. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Did you find any solution to your problem ? My SQL Developer worked fine and could open additional SQL files. Now it only opens the first one when starting SQL Developer. Additionnal files cannot be opened. Even running sqldeveloper.exe from command line with a SQL file as parameter doesn't help.
    I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the environment may not necessarily be the cause.

  • I want to run a streaming quotes program on Scottrade. They tell me that their product does not work if I have more than one Java application on my Mac. How do I delete the older versions? Thanks

    I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

  • Devleoper Studio and Workplace for Java application development

    1. Can someone please help me know what is netweaver developer studio and developer workplace ?
    2. I came across EP master guide that says :
    You install an AS Java centrally and the developer workplace on each developer host.
    This option is recommended for large development projects with a need for local and central testing. Developers can test their developments locally using the developer workplace. For integration tests, they deploy their changes on the central AS Java.Ûê.® |
    You install an AS Java centrally and Developer Studio instances on each developer host.
    This option requires fewer hardware resources per developer host. In this landscape scenario you can set up an AS Java in development mode centrally and connect to it from the other hosts in the landscape using the Developer Studio.
    How does Java application development take place ? Does this say that we need Developer Studio instances installed on every developer's host (suppose I have 3 developers) or do I need one server setup for Dev Studio and developers using some client program to connect to it ?
    I suppose developers create programs on their local pc's, port them to Dev studio for testing and transfer them to EP Dev server ? Is that correct.. ? Thereby, we need CTS+ to promote developments to Qlty and Prod ?

  • Cannot open any Java files on my Mac OSX: Problem Solved

    Hello all,
    I have just begun an Introduction to Java class and I'm already having problems...namely, I cannot open .java files on my Mac.
    Whenever I try to open them, I get an error message that says: "You cannot use this version of the application Xcode with this version of Mac OS X."
    I'm running version 10.5.4 on a PowerPC Mac. It's a few years old, but I don't understand how it could already be so outdated as to not allow me to even use the application.
    I am 100% new to programming and don't really know at all what I'm doing. Apple says their JDK comes with every Mac and no one else seems to be having this problem. I don't really even know where to go to for updates, if that is what I need to do, or if I should just download a different JDK.
    This is an intensive (6-week) class and I don't want to fall behind, but it's halfway through the first week and I cannot even open files.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: I figured out the problem by getting out my installation disks and I found the latest xCode tools app in the "optional packages" folder.
    Installed it and now I'm up and running.

    You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com.  The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader.  If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files.  Hope this helps.

  • Deinstalling Creative Cloud applications before upgrading Mac OSX?

    Hello, I believe that I need to deinstall my Creative Cloud applications before upgrading my Mac OSX, but my question is whether I need to deinstall each application separately, or if simply deinstalling the Creative Cloud under Adobe Installers would handle everything. And then I need to reinstall each application separately?
    Thank you
    Chris

    Hi chris2500,
    First thing that you need to do is deactivate your software from the machine. In order to do so you have to launch any CC application/ go to help and select sign out. For uninstalling the software you will have to uninstall all the apps seperately.
    For installing the apps download CC desktop and start downloading. The download will proceed in a sequence.

  • Switching to Java 5.0 on Mac OSX (Tiger)

    Hi,
    I'm teaching myself Java (read newbie) from the O'Reilly books, and I'm having trouble getting OSX to use Java 5.0.
    I downloaded and installed it from the Sun Development site. I know it was successful, because when I tried to do it again, the software installer detected that Java 5.0 was already there.
    The problem is that I can't seem to convince OSX to use 5.0 when I try to run my examples. Even when I paste the O'Reilly examples straight into the text editor from the CD and then compile them, when I try to run, I get an error that, according to O'Reilly, means OSX isn't using Java 5.0.
    Any thoughts?
    Best wishes,
    Laurel

    Maybe O'Reilly's book is wrong. What's the error message?
    I installed Java 5 on a Tiger box, and it worked fine. I dimly recall, however, an option to install it without making it the default. Maybe you did that. If so, you can use it by changing your path.

    There is no official iBook app for the Mac, but there are plenty of applications for reading a variety of ebook formats as above.  Another is Calibre, which can read the ePub format that is used for iBooks.  The software is free, take a look here:

  • Java Problem on my Mac osx 10.7.5

    I am trying to reinstall Java se 6. And i have deleted Java re 7. But it dosen't work. And I ve followed the methods from here "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4444438?start=0&tstart=0". I've changed the symlink of CurrentJDK und Current files. And I taped the "java -version". It shows "java version is 1.6.0".
    But i opened the testpage of Java with Safari. It cannot show the Version of my Computet. So I reinstall my Java se 1.7. But it doesn't work any more. In "Terminal" shows my Java is se6 but the Safari shows nothing. Maybe my Java Files are already broken. How can my Java work or how can I reinstall my Java se6 and se7. I need Java se6 to install a program.

    You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.
