Is there something other than PATH that the Mac version needs? I can go
into Terminal and launch VASSAL.sh without a problem now, but the Mac
version continues to fail to launch.I don’t know. JavaApplicationStub inside the Mac bundle is what starts
java. If you can’t start VASSAL from the Mac bundle, then my best guess
is that JavaApplicationStub is not finding java. JavaApplicationStub is
something provided by Apple—it’s not ours. So I don’t know where it
looks for java.Ah, just found this:
lists.apple.com/archives/java-de … 00114.html
Bugger. It looks like JavaApplicationStub doesn’t work with Java 7,
and the solution is… to bundle a JRE with your app. Gah! The
situation with Java gets worse by the day.I’m not sure what to do about this.
I’m going to try doing a build with AppBundler:
java.net/projects/appbundler/downloads
I’ll get back to you this evening with a new build of VASSAL to test.
Does this app bundle run for you?
vassalengine.org/~uckelman/b … macosx.dmg
(BTW, I’d appreciate having reports about this particular bundle from
people running Java 5, Java 6, and Java 7 on MacOS X. It’s intended to
work on all three, and I’d like to get confirmation that it does.)
