#52 OS-X: name in menu is java class name

[Wim Rijnders]

Perhaps this also happens on other platforms. In any case, I read
'com.organic.maynard.outliner.Outliner' on the location i would
expect to read 'JOE'.

following jpeg illustrates the problem:

the top line on the screen is usally the location of the application menu.
the first item on the left is the application name. With JOE, you actually
the name of the java class file that is started up. I would expect it to
read 'JOE'

Hi Wim

Thanks for taking the time to send in this info.

I imagine that the name is showing up that way because
of the way the Java runtime is being invoked andor how
it operates on OS X.

Are you following one of the installation procedures that
Pete Prodoehl wrote up ?

( https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?
msg_id=1670873 )

Or something else of your own devising ?

I sniff we'll need a real double-clickable Mac app version
of JOE to get over this irritant. It's why I'm working
on such a beast for the Win32 world: there are many
OS functionalities that are tough to pull off if an app doesn't act
like a native double-clickable as much as possible.

Dunno if there are options to calling the Java runtime
or packaging calls to it in a script that'll fix this ... will have to
search andor find a javatic mac maven - I also want to
ask Pete if he sees this.

Hi Stanley,

I checked the installation procedure you referred to and yes, that's the
way I installed JOE (without referring to this text! Does that earn me
bonus points? :-). The text also mentions that the java class name is
shown instead of the app name, so it was a known feature.

I'm currently loading the source code into the Project Builder on my
iMac to see if I might be able to implement my requests myself. I'm not
committing myself yet, but I'll keep you informed. In any case I hope to
be of help - being a heavy JOE user it's in my interest as well.

Wim.
