Where is my extension folder?

I am having trouble with adding packages like javax.sql and javax.naming. From what have read, these packages should go into my extension directory but the compiler still complains when I reference a class from any optional package outside of jdk1.3. I am aware that jdk1.4 includes both of these packages but I really want to understand why placing them in the extension folder is not working?
I have a program that prints out system/java info. that includes the following line:
<pre>
System.out.println("Path of Extension Directory: "+System.getProperty("java.ext.dirs"));
</pre>
which prints out the following:
"c:\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext\"
I added an ext folder within lib and added my packages...which didn't work.

Hello martycash,
I'm a little unsure of what you are trying to add and the error message that you are getting. I assume that you are talking about a .class file or jar file when you say package and the error message that you get says that something is not found.
lib\ext is a good place to put such files but it is not the only place to put them. You may put them almost anywhere. In the lib folder for instance, or outside of the jdk folder if you like. What you need to do is to set your CLASSPATH to point to the folder where you put them. By putting them in the lib folder, you avoid having to modify your CLASSPATH.

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

Where is my extensions folder in 10.9.4?

OK, where is this folder? It is not in the Library that you get when you press option go. It is not in the library when you set the home folder thing to reveal or show library. Where the heck is it. My computer seems to be operating normally but I need to retrieve a driver. Thanks I know this is not the right forum but I can't find the right one. God this has gotten complicated lately.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide /Library/Extensions/ or /System/Library/Extensions/ as the path.

Why no Extensions folder or files?

So I was going to try the whine fix on this forum where you edit a file in your Extension folder. Problem is there is no Extension folder in my Library and when I do a search for the folder there are no files in the folder.
Anyone?

How did you do that, Arkir? Did you use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the BonJour installation configuration information? Or did you use some other process?

Where is my profile folder?

Just reinstalled mac os x but forgot to backup the profiles folder so lost all my bookmarks. Reason I re-installed Mac OS X was for a new HDD, so I've got the old one (as it was) in a USB enclosure.
Was under the impression that the folder should be in Library/Application Support/Mozilla Firefox/profiles but there's no profiles folder, just an extensions folder.
Where else could it be? Where was firefox storing my info if not there?

It's not in the library folder (as above) and unfortunately no roaming folder either, although not sure whether you've got that path entirely correct. I've never seen an appdata folder directly in the username folder.

Extension folder is not getting created for firefox 4 in Mac OS

in Mac OS 10.6, 10.5, extension folder is not getting created in the profile for the firefox 4.0. Where as in Firefox 3.6 when you launch the firefox first time, profile folder is created and extension folder is also part of that.

That extensions folder will only be created if there are extensions found that need to be installed. If there are no extensions then Firefox doesn't create an empty extensions folder.<br />
On Windows there is a lot of security software that installs extensions globally.

I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed.

I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.

When I try to save a webpage as a bookmark, the options window where I choose the folder where I will save it is disappearing when I try selecting it

Step 1. I open a web page.
Step2. I press ctrl+d.
Step3. I do not see the window where I choose the folder I wish the bookmark to be saved in.
Step4. I clicked the star button on the right corner of location bar.
Step5. I see the window now.
Step 6. When I move the cursor down that window to choose the folder it again disappears.
Step 7. I randomly click at a spot in the area where the window disappeared.
Step 8. I realize that it does not go away but stays hidden disappearing.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV050BObT9I]

hello bdavis106, please refer to [[Find and manage downloaded files]].

How do I install a Thunderbird add-on for all users? Putting the XPI file into Extensions folder didn't work.

I'm trying to install Enigmail 1.8.2 for all users. I thought I read somewhere that you don't need to unpack the XPI file.
Whilst writing this, I did some experimenting and found a solution, but it's messy (see below). Is there an easier way?
Fresh install of Thunderbird 31.6 on Windows 7 x64. Have observed the following:
1. If I install the extension for one user via the Add-Ons GUI (from the marketplace, not from a local file), it does work. The Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions folder is empty. Folder {847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5} is created in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\staged\ and moved from staged to extensions when TB is restarted.
2. If I download the XPI file from Enigmail site and copy it to Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\Extensions folder, then Thunderbird's Extensions screen says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed".
3a. If I rename the xpi to zip (e.g. enigmail-1.8.2-tb+sm.xpi.zip) then I can open it and see that the contents are similar to what was created at point (1). If I unzip the contents, then Thunderbird doesn't recognise the add-on, unless I rename the folder to the GUID above (which could be found in install.rdf or chrome.manifest, once you know what you're looking for).
Presumably I could also have done a per-user install, copied the folder from the profile, removed the extension, then pasted the copy into the program folder. That would save looking up the GUID but is only a little less fiddly.
3b. After renaming the folder and restarting TB, it gives me a new tab "Install Add-on" which says "Another program on your computer would like to modify Thunderbird with the following add-on: ... Location: C:\Program Files (x86)". Once I allow the add-on, it is listed in Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions.ini.
Aside: Disabling the add-on simply removes the line from extensions.ini, so how does TB distinguish between an unapproved add-on and a disabled one? It seems to be in extensions.json.

Is Thunderbird already installed in the computers? If so, you could download the .xpi file and drag and drop it into the extensions window (after opening that) to install it in all the computers, following which you click the Install buttons when they become enabled, and you might have to restart Tbird afterwards.

My Bridge CC is not showing an extensions folder in Mac OS:/LibraryApplication Support/Adob

I just finished installed the Output Module on my computer following the directions on the site however when I go to the same location on my laptop which also has Bridge CC in the Library Application Support Area Adobe Bridge CC area there is no extension folder.
I waited to speak with support via chat but I was advised to contact product experts tomorrow Monday.
I am wondering if I should just uninstall and reinstall but will wait until I get a response from someone who has the answer.
Thanks so much!

No Extensions folder in library?! No kext files?

Hi
Anyone know why i can't see/find an extensions folder on my system? 10.4.6, dual core 2.0, kept my system pretty clean... i did a custom install of tiger.
There's only ONE kext file on my system, and that's something to do with Roxio Toast.
Anyone know what's going on?
I need to delete a kext file off my system asap.
Thanks
Edd

Hi Beatsmith,
not sure why it didn't come up in spotlight though, must be as it's a admin folder
Unfortunately that's a feature, not an error. Spotlight does not search the folders Library or System. I quit using Spotlight 1 week after I installed and use FileBuddy instead.
TIP: do not change/move/delete anything in /Library and /System unless you know EXACTLY what you do This might render your system unfunctional.

Where are my extensions in DW8?

Where are my extensions in DW8? I'd like my desktop
extensions to be in sync with my notebook. I can't find them
physically in my DW8 installation.
Is it as simple as copying extensions from one directory on
one box to the same directory on the other box, or do I have to
install extensions twice?

> or do I have to install extensions twice?
It's safer than a manual installation. Some extensions can
create additionnal
files/menus that you don't see, can write in menus.xml,
insertbat.xml, etc.

[IDC S5] Run a script - get the extension Folder

Hi All
I'm novice in Extension Builder and may be my questions seems stupid...
I want to run a JSX for ID, located in a sub folder of my extension.
I use the "doscript()" method but I don't know how to refer to my ".jsx"
If I set a File variable what kind of path I have to specify? Absolute or not?
How can i get the folder of my extension?
File.applicationDirectory don't returns my extension folder.
Someone can help me?
thanks
Ivan

There are two issues here.
Firstly, how to obtain the file path to your script, or any item under your extension folder.
File.applicationDirectory doesn't return your extension's directory, because extensions are loaded as sub-applications of a top-level "StageManager" application. And so File.applicationDirectory returns the StageManager directory rather than your extension's.
Instead you can use the following CSXSLibrary API to get the full path to an item in the extension directory:
var url:String = "app://" + CSXSInterface.getInstance().getSystemPath(SystemPath.APPLICATION).data + "myScript.jsx";
Secondly, there are some pitfalls to be aware of when using doScript from ActionScript. See Harbs's excellent cookbook entry http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_InDesign_doScript_UndoModes_in_ActionScript-18462.ht ml

Extensions Folder?

Hi, I know there is an extensions folder located at /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions . While this remains totally intact and fine, I just now, for no known reason, started seeing an Extensions folder in the finder right when I click on the Macintosh HD icon. As in, there is now an Extensions folder visible at /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Extensions ?
If I recall right, I don't think I've ever seen that there before. Is it normally there( as in hidden from the finder), or is it not supposed to be there at all.
Can someone help me out and let me know..... thanks and really appreciate these forums.

There is no default Extensions folder directly in Macintosh HD. Either you or some software created it there.
What are the contents? That would help.
