Launcher shows applications from OTHER partition

My iMac's 2011 internal disk is partitioned so that it can boot either with Mountain Lion, or Lion, depending on my needs.
I've just noticed that my Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Launcher shows certain applications that do not exist on my Mountain Lion partition, but do exist on my Lion partition.
Here's another observation : when I update my Mac App Store apps through Software Update in ML, I sometimes have to run it twice !
I figured that it first updates a given app that resides on my Mountain Lion partition, and then, at the next Software Update call, it will update the same app on my Lion partition.
I always thought that there was a certain "water-tightness" between partitions on a disk. Now I see it is not the case.
And I'm not sure that this is a "feature". I wonder if this can lead to problems. For example, if an app is compatible with Mountain Lion and not compatible with Lion, it could still be installed in Lion.
How about ejecting the irrelevant partition before Software Updating ?
Any thoughts ?
Thanks !

Whether in your case with multiple OS X partitions, or in my case, with dual internal drives, the Dock on the primary drive will try resolve previous links to /Applications locations from previous preference settings.
Two things that I observed.
Spotlight was happy to index both drives at a performance loss.
The App Store may get confused about multiple Apple ID in multiple keychains.Which messes up normal App Store and Software updates.
In Spotlight > Privacy, I told it to ignore everything but the current boot drive.
I also created a new /etc/fstab file entry that blocked automounting the non-boot drive.
I then added missing apps back to the primary boot drive.

XFCE icon box item shows applications from all workspaces

first of all using latest packages...
my XFCE icon box item on the panel shows all tasks from all workspaces regardless of the option "show applications from all workspaces"
the task list item does that properly
what could the problem be?

You actually have all applications on one "workspace", it's just divided into several virtual view-ports.
well yes i thought of that since i really use compiz...
but i tried task list item and it works properly even with compiz and virtual ports so that's not an excuse...
Well then, task list takes virtual workspaces into account whereas the IconBox doesn't...
heh well obviously
but if they already removed the feature from task list and ported the icon only display as a separate plugin they should have implemented the "virtual view-ports awareness" too :\

How to show rss from other sites on my site?

how to show rss from other sites on my site?
i'd like to have a window on my site that shows rss from

thanks

What version of DW do you have. The later versions have RSS
script generators (I believe) for consuming feeds. Otherwise, you
can use 3rd party sites to generate the code, or you can use a
server side scripting language to consume the feeds.

Migrating users from other partitions

I'm dealing with "Epic Stupid" in how Apple handles something in 10.4.
My hard drive developed a few bad blocks. It's becoming unusable because apparently those bad blocks are directly under certain key files, because it's hard to do much without getting "stun locked" by the gorram beach ball.
Anyway, my disk has a second partition on it which was unused. I went ahead and formatted that partition, wrote the partition with zeros (which I hope had the effect of flagging all bad blocks), and installed OS X 10.4.10 from the DVD's.
Naturally the system comes up and treats me like I'm a completely new user of MacOS. It allows me to import users from other partitions -- but here's the problem. It wants to migrate the users, which would be great for preserving disk permissions - but then it wants to COPY ALL THEIR DATA. That's ridiculous. Their data is already on the other partition. I want to copy the identities but not all their data.
How am I supposed to do that? Import the user identities and tie it back to the UID that's on the other partition so <user X> can access <user X>'s data?
By the way, other than that, putting the boot OS on the new partition is working great. No beach balls unless I touch the other partition.

Yeah I know Virtually all of my data is copied off already. I say "virtually" because the backup was piecemeal, and I'm
a) not 100% sure I got everything and
b) not looking forward to hand-reassembling my entire environment from scratch. I.E. I don't relish reloading all my songs into iTunes and resetting play counts to zero, having it forget which podcasts I've listened to, etc. etc.
I would prefer if possible to get one "coherent" backup and it appears the problem partition is no longer reliably bootable.

Reverse-Engineer Java Class Files ---- Launch Java Application From Icon

hi,
is there a way to prevent java class files from being interpreted back into java source files (jad.exe does exactly that) ?
i have a batch file to compile my java application and another to run the application. the application is run by invoking the batch file from dos window.
i'd like to be able to double-click on some icon to launch the application.
how do i accomplish this?
thank you.

s there a way to prevent java class
files from being interpreted back into
java source files (jad.exe does exactly that) ?There are two ways to prevent that:
1. Use an obfuscator. Look at this page for
explanation of what is that, and then search google
"java obfuscator" for products.
http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/13580
2. Compile your application to native code (google
for "excelsior jet" or "gcj"). Look at this page for
more details:
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jetprotection.html
i'd like to be able to double-click on some
icon to launch the application.
how do i accomplish this?Do you want to do that on your computer only, or you
need a solution to make the clickable icon on
computers of your end-users?
Denis.thanks to all,
i'll see suggest sites for more details on obfuscator.
I'd like to have the application doulbe-clickable on end-users' computers.

How to launch an application from java?

Hi,
Would anybody please help me this. I need to launch a new desktop application from my java app but I don't know how. For example, when user clicks on a "Edit" button from my java app, my app needs to launch NOTEPAD.EXE to allow user starts editing.
Thanks a lot.
Hung.

try something like this for your button's action method:
        String[] cmd = {"notepad"};
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try {
            Process pro = rt.exec(cmd);
            pro.waitFor(); // wait until it's done executing
            System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + pro.exitValue());
        }catch(IOException ioe) {
            System.err.println("IOException -> " + ioe);
        } catch(InterruptedException ie){
            System.err.println("InterruptedException: " + ie);

Launching external applications from web start

Hi!
I am currently working on a management system and I need to launch other management systems from my Java Web Start application. The other systems are either based on web applications (URLs), telnet - needs to set up a telnet session, or running shell scripts or batch files.
URLs are ok. I am using Desktop.browse in Java 1.6 or I can use BasicService.showDocument in javax.jnlp API.
My application may run on both windows and linux (ie its launched from the browser). It interacts with a java app on a linux server over RMI.
How can I lauch a telnet session from my client app?
Do I have to include apache commons.net and create a telnet module in my app or can i lauch c:\windows\system32\telnet.exe in windows (if my app is lauched on win) and /usr/kerberos/bin/telnet (if my app is lauched in Linux)?
How can I launch an external .exe application in window and how can I launch any shell script or program in Linux?
(same as how do i lauch telnet)
As long as the user is prompted I can see no risk of denying these kind of things so I hope and think that this should be possible!
PS. I have managed to do it by using Runtime.exec() when running as a non JWS application, but I cannot do it when running as JWS:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)I dont want to sign the application either. The reason for choosing webstart was to not have to renew certificates at our customers.
Please help.
Thanks for taking interest and reading this.. and I hope that someone has some helpful answers for me :)

I am not able to access the application from other PCs in network

Hi Friends,
I am a newbie in this field and building an internal application for employees of my org. The HR will enter all the informations regarding a particular employee and it will get stored in the Oracle DataBase(10g).When the admin users will want to know information about a particular emp they will put the emp_code and it will retrieve all the information of that particular emp.For that I am using Oracle AS(10g).After the deployment of the apllication(.war file) in the AS(10g), when I access the URl- http://10.0.37.51:7777/emp/... from my machine (where 10.0.37.51 is the IP Address of my system where server is installed) the application runs properly but when i give the same url from other pcs the whole application does not run properly it gives an error msg http://d6z5sb1s:7777/...not accessible.. can any of my forum friend help me out to solve the problem.I will be thankful to you..

Here I am using Java Type IV for database
connection.
So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.

Can you Launch External Applications From Within InDesign Ebook?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to open an external application from within an ebook (created with InDesign) e.g. click on a link and have an external ssh client open up for instance?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
RG

It's possible to include hyperlinks in an InDesign file and export them in an EPUB file. Since I'm not familiar with working with SSH clients (in fact, I just had to Google it to have a clue what you're talking about), is this something that can be invoked in a standard URL format? If so, you could probably include it.
The next issue is whether the link would work. The link couldn't be used directly in any eBook reader I know of, but at least the iBook on an iPad or iPhone would switch to to Safari to let you follow a URL to its destination. But I don't think that's possible on most eBooks.

Sync does not show tabs from other devices

I have two computers running Windows 8.1 and FF 26: at work, and at home. Both are synced, however, every time I want to see tabs on the other computer (History - Tabs from other devices) all I see is a blank tab. Sync settings on both are to sync everything (tabs option checked).
Is this a bug, or is there anything else I need to do to see the remote tabs?

As you can see, there are some potential authentication issues, but I don't understand why would it only affect tabs sync, while bookmarks are fine. Note also that I merged all the stuff to the sync account by Sync - Manage Account - Reset Sync - Merge data from this device browser into your Sync account.
Thanks for your help!

Launching Java Application From A Java Application

Hello,
I am building a compiler and would like to have run feature. The problem is I can not seem to figure out the righ syntax to run and application from my java application.
Here is the code I am using to run an application:
public void RunClass()
try
Runtime rtr=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rtr.exec("java " + CurrentDirectory + FileNoExt);
String line;
BufferedReader rerr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getErrorStream()));
if((line = rerr.readLine()) == null) { CompileMessageArea.setText("Program Running\n"); }
while ((line = rerr.readLine()) != null) { CompileMessageArea.append(line +"\n"); }
rerr.close();
catch(Exception re) { re.printStackTrace(); }
The following is an example of what the above would send to the:
java c:\MyJava\Programs\test
If you try to type something like that in a DOS prompt it will not work. You must first change to that directory, but I am hoping there is an easy way to change the syntax. On the other hand if you want to compile a program you can type:
javac c:\MyJava\Programs\test.java
and it will work just fine. This is kind of funny and I use this syntax for my compiler in my program. You would think that the same syntax would work the same for both compiling and running but it does not. So, I know that if I just know what the correct syntax that dos would except for running an application it would work.
So, if you have the answer for me PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
It is easily testable by keying it into the dos prompt.
Sincerely,
Eric Kohr

If you want to do it that way you need to use the environment parameter of the exec() method. Use it to set your classpath to the directory that's need for the java application you are about to run... for instance.
String[] env = new String[] {"CLASSPATH=c:\classes"}
String command = "java somePackage.someProgram";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( env, command);Where your program is in the file "c:\classes\somePackage\someProgram"
your mileage may vary :)
You can also reflectively load classes into the running VM and invoke their main methods. This give you the ablility to control them a bit more.

My Dock is gone and I can not launch an application from my desktop.

I need to recover my dock and be able to launch files from my desktop. What happened and how do I restore it.
Also, when I attach my power cord the light turns orange and the battery icon shows that it is not chargine.
This all happened when I opened my screen this morning. I tried shutting down and it does not fix it.

Hi.
To recover your Dock, try this: From the Finder Menu bar, Go/Home/Library/Preferences and move com.apple.dock.plist to the Desktop
Then, from he Finder window go to Macintosh HD (or whatever your startup disk is named)/System/Library/CoreServices and doble click the Dock application.
Good Luck.
