With my current variables, my bundle ends up being named JavaMacDockTest.app.
You'll find this bundle in the release directory.
#Jarbundler for mac mac os x
If everything works, this will convert your Java application into what is essentially a native Mac OS X application, or bundle. To build your project with my Ant build script, just change the variables in the script to match your project, then move to the build script, and run Ant, like this: Release my build script places the "mac application" version of your program here Jar my build script builds an application jar file to this directory I've document these directories in the build script, but here are some short definitions for them:īuild your project build directory, where build.xml goesĬlasses my build script compiles your java classes to this folder One other thing: This build script assumes the directory structure for your project looks like this:
#Jarbundler for mac install
All that means, however, is that you need to install the JarBundler jar file in the lib directory of your Ant installation, so even that is pretty easy. The only real trick to getting this to work - besides being comfortable with Java, Ant, and Mac OS X - is that you need to install JarBundler in the right location. I've tried to document my code pretty well, so I don't have much to add about the build process here. Here is the source code for my Ant build.xml script that I use to build the Java application that I shared in Part 1 of this tutorial: But fear not, this isn't hard, you just need an Ant build script that uses the JarBundler task to create a native application, and I just happen to have one of those that I'm going to share here. To build an application on Mac OS X that can handle drag and drop file events, you need to make your Java application more like a native Mac application. A working Ant build script with the JarBundler task So here in Part 2 of this tutorial, I'm sharing my Ant build script that completes this recipe. But as I mentioned in that tutorial, the recipe to handle files that are dropped onto your Dock application icon requires a little more work, in particular an Ant build process that uses the JarBundler task. In Part 1 of this tutorial I shared the Java source code you need to handle drag and drop events on Mac OS X.
