I've been messing with cocoa for the last few days. Its really sort of cool. I find the actions and outlets interesting. They have a pdf file that walks you though a simple cocoa j…

I can use CW 5 to create a Carbon app which runs natively in MacOS X Public Beta. My question is, what does OS X do when I call DebugStr? It doesn't halt the program. I'm wonderi…

I haven't tried it in OS X Public beta, but in DP4, DebugStr logged a message to the console. This is actually a lot more useful than the OS 9 behavior; it's a lot like DCon, if yo…

Hi- For school I need to do java 1.2 dev. I know that OS X is going to support 1.2 but will it come with the standard javac and java? Or will I just have to use project builder. …

Yes, the good news is that all the standard command-line tools, such as "java", "javac", etc. are all bundled on the Public Beta. You may also be able to run IDEs such as NetBean…

Also, the NeXT-legacy tools such as Project Builder are _not_ bundled on the Public Beta. Members of Apple's developer programs are being shipped this week a separate CD-ROM with t…

Any ideas where to get MRJAppBuilder for OSX? Its mentioned at http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/...otes/Java.html but not obviously available any where (previous versions are…

The Netbeans (www.netbeans.org) IDE mostly works. Use the Stable build (build 4). I downloaded the .zip file and ran unzip on it. Then cd to netbeans/bin and execute: ./runide.…

I've been working on some applets for a class project. These applets are nothing fancy, but they do utilize swing components such as JLabel and JTextField. I've yet to have any l…

You didn't say much of why you cant run your applet, do you include all the classes?

I can only find build 5. I've downloaded it but can't seem to unzip. How did you unzip Build 4? Thanks, - JT - Quote: Originally posted by JonConradt: The Netbeans (…

There are two ways that I've found for unzipping files. With PB, stuffit expander shipped. This app, under utilities:aladdin, has done a good job of unzipping for me. In DP4, I …

How would I apply the thumbnail icons to a Carbon application in OS X?

You can copy and paste icons into the info (or the Inspector as it's called now)windows in OS X just the same as in OS 9 or earlier. ------------------ Life is what happens to you…

But will they show up as those nice 128x128 icons?

You need a 128 x 128 icns file, and the name of the file needs to be specified in the app bundle's Info.plist. ProjectBuilder will allow you to set the icon name in its "Applicati…

But what about Carbon? How would you do it with a Carbon app?

Quote: Originally posted by mjuarez: But what about Carbon? How would you do it with a Carbon app? As long as you package your Carbon app in a .app folder (bundle)…

This is what we do in our app since we aren't using a bundle and don't plan to in the near future. We build the icon using Icon Builder Pro. It exports a .icns file with all the d…
