Create a MacOS app #62

Closed acollign closed 11 years ago

acollign commented 11 years ago

We currently provide an installer that only creates a folder containing jars and docu. Would be great to have a real MacOS App. AFAICT that would also address #61.

here [0] is the official documentation.

A much better way of building the app (with maven) [1]. Maven usage is tracked under #51

@acollign if you can have a look at this, it would be a great idea !

acollign commented 11 years ago

I'm already working on this one. Right now I can create an app (dmg and zipped dmg). I still have an issue with the icons of the app but that would be fixed soon.

acollign commented 11 years ago

Just noticed that the icon is really blurry when pressing Cmd-Tab. I'll create the icns file in higher res.

This process crashes as expected on non-mac OS. I think the easiest way to handle that is to create a specific profile (e.g. distribution-macos).

@jeremiegastonraoul may I ask you to test the dmg on your mac ? I think GateKeeper would warn about unsigned app.
