This is an interesting situation. The implementation of the device
importer does not have anything to do with the way that the user is
prompted and as Dan has shown it does work correctly. The problem is
that the dialog we use for prompting probably should not allow
selection of *all* files since as mentioned that could result in some
weird situations for the user. What are the other options from the UI
perspective?

I just tried again over lunch. Created and ran a "hello world" using
the java-fx phone profile... I hadn't realised that UEI was an external
specification, my bad.
Although it wasn't lightning fast, the UEI importer did find many
profiles and it took only a couple of minutes. Whilst it might be worth
changing the filtering to enable users to select the .app file, it's
not a big deal to cut and paste. I think the simplest fix of allowing
the importer to select .app files on mac os platforms would be
sufficient for most needs.
Anyhow, I'm a happier man now - thanks for the speedy responses
I think it worths implementing a separate strategy to handle MAC OS
since it has e very specific behavior. Handling files during the
discovery process would make it very time consuming. Any thoughts ??

Actually it shows, but you can't select it. The problem to enable the
selection of files on the browse dialog is that our importers are
implemented to search inside folders, not files. Even though the app is
a folder in the end, I'm not sure how the importers will behave
properly. This will also enable the user, for example to select an .txt
file and will have to waste time trying to import nothing in the end.
ahh... so it doesn't show in the dialog... Hmm... That is more of a UI
issue than an importer issue, no?

Hi Craig,
as you know, to the mac user an .app file is not an
folder, its
similar to an .exe so i guess the proper behavior on the folder browser
is to consider it as a file. Since we are filtering for folders only,
we cant select the app;
Thinking about it, I think it should work fine to point
to the app....
It is just a file system folder and the import logic will recursively
search from the specified folder.

home, I tried this

my mac. I cut and paste'd the file system link, as I didn't think the
browse option would work...
The
wtk3.0
was
released as an .app and the file browser cannot select it
for importing on our wizard. Although, if you explore the package
contents, you can find inside Contents/Resources/bin the emulator
binary.
Unfortunately, we will need to create a new
importer.
Does MTJ support the recently released Java Platform Micro Edition
Software Development Kit 3.0 for MacOS EA ?
I'm guessing the answer is no, since I've not seen any discussion on
the mailing list. So, anyone planning on writing an importer ?
If not I might be up for giving it a bash, might find some time next
week, or the following... was thinking I could probably morph the
MPowerPlayer importer. But if anyone else is working on it, I'm up for
helping / testing etc.
