While trying to open files with j's file-browser on osx 10.3.3 strange things happen. Some files in a directory open on <return>-key or <mouse-dbl-click> as expected. Others never do - without a cause. Browsing the dir-tree works fine, soft-links are no problem, but strangely some files never open ?
Together with the misplaced main-menu j seem to be hardly usable on osx.

I haven't heard of this problem before, but in any case,
since I don't have a Mac, I have no way to investigate it.
It might be useful to try adding this line to ~/.j/prefs:
dirUseNativeFormat = false
to see if the misbehavior changes.

OS X lists the year for not-this-year's files.
line 107 of Directory.java can be modified to include a
regex for OS X

Directory.java
String osX = "[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ ([A-Z][a-z]+)
(([0-2][0-9]:[0-9][0-9])|( [0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9])) ";
nativeMoveToFilenameRegExp =
new UncheckedRE("(" + traditional + ")|(" + iso +
")|(" + osX + ")", 0, syntax);
You can quite easily find the main class (and move it to
the default package and call it ArmedBearJ.java so the
application name looks nice) and set system properties
// OS X properties
System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");
System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.growbox.intrudes",
"false");
That will put the menus on the screen menu bar, but the mode
menu get fixed on whatever mode the editor starts up in. I
spent a while thinking how to fix that, but as I use
keyboard shortcuts all the time I didn't bother.
