Re: [Wrapper-user] Launched daemon on Mac OSX appears in Dock and in Menu Bar

[Leif M. <lei...@ta...>]

Brian,
Does your application have a GUI that is being displayed?   I just
checked and confirmed that console based applications do not cause an
icon to be displayed.

For Swing applications, you can handle the close even when the user
clicks to close the window using the windowClosing method of a
WindowListener.   But I tried it and the menu bar's Quit choice does
not use that.  Nor does it appear to be killing it with a TERM signal.

Digging around a bit more.  I think I found what you want:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/OSXAdapter/Introduction/Intro.html

I have not had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks like this will
actually make it possible to cancel the CMD-Q request.   We will look
into to whether or not it makes sense to add this into the core
Wrapper for a future release.

Please let me know how this works for you.

Cheers,
Leif
