Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT JRE 1.5.0 Mac PowerPc

Hey great! That was the problem, it works well now :)

Thanks for the links. Some questions is you don't mind.

1. if I understood well it seems it is impossible to add a parameter with an executable jar? I found the manifest in the executable jar but is there anyway to add a -XstartOnFirstThread in there? or maybe I can do that straight in the app, test if the OS is mac and then add -XstartOnFirstThread to the VM?
Maybe I'll have to go back to normal jar and create manually, exe for windows, app for mac and bin for linux (it is bin right?), and then an installer?
I'd like to have my app working like azureus basically, on the 3 most common OS and with an installer.
I read a lot, tested a lot and the cross-platform installer didn't work for me, I'm probably lacking knowledge...
Is there any generic software to make installer for the 3 OS? I read a lot as I found tons of people talking , tested a lot but I'm getting confuse. What would you do?

2. should I use the same parameter for linux?

Thanks again for your help, that's very useful :)

Hi, Romu.

I think Tom is right - you probably just need to tell java to startOnFirstThread.
Here's an FAQ about it:
Also, this link might help - it tells how to deploy an application on the Mac:
Hope this helps!

The problem could be that you need to start on OS-X with
-XstartOnFirstThread!
