Short description of the issue/suggestion: demo.app created for mac os dose not start properly.

Steps to reproduce the issue/enhancement:

1. create simple java application
2. use the JavaPackager maven plugin to create a package for mac os
3. start the demo.app by double click on the created icon in finder or use open demo.app on cli

What is the expected behavior? doubble-click on the created app icon or starting the app with open demo,app on cli the app starts. The runnable.jar file is working as expected: java -cp libs -jar demo-runnable.jar starts properly.

What is the current behavior? By trying to start the app with open demo.app the following error message occurs: LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file demo.app.

Do you have outputs, screenshots, demos or samples which demonstrate the problem or enhancement? I created a demo project. see demo.zip

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Please tell us about your environment:

• JavaPackager version: 1.6.6
• OS version: 10.13.6
• JDK version: reproducible for openjdk11, 15 and 17
• Build tool:
  • [x] Maven
  • [ ] Gradle

Hi @kia, can you re-try with <codesignApp>false</codesignApp> in the Mac settings and see if that makes a difference?

[kia]

Hi @kerner1000 . I tried it with the flag you suggested. With no change. The issue is still there. Here is the output of the maven plugin during packaging:

Try with 1.6.7. It seems a problem of missing entitlements. This new version generates default entitlements. Feedback please. Thanks!

[fvarrui]

I'm going to be away from home for a few days, so I can't test your demo app until then

[kia]

now I see the following message:

Some files were not found for the file /Users/remote/demo-1.6.7/demo.app.

[fvarrui]

This last problem could be related to #239

[kia]

Thank you @fvarrui . The app starts now if I execute the universalJavaApplicationStub- executable itself on the console but not by double click on the app-icon nor by open universalJavaApplicationStub.

[fvarrui]

Ok, can you check the syslog (Console.app)? universalJavaApplicationStub script logs info and errors there.

I think I found something that might solve this issue.

The call to launch in main-method was commented out. According to this example launch should be called in main.

With

public static void run(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

it is running in my environment.

@Kia: Can you please verify? Thanks!

Note that I ran into issue https://github.com/fvarrui/JavaPackager/issues/239 and downgraded to JavaPackager 1.6.6 which worked fine for me.

Hi @kia! (and @treimers 😄)

Sorry for being late in providing a solution, but after upgrading my Windows system from 10 to 11, my Mac OS VM stops working! Time is playing against me right now ... lots of cauldrons on fire 😞

The problem reported in #239 is fixed in 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT (available in devel branch).

Plaese, try what @treimers suggests!

[treimers]

Hi all,

looks that we all three are on vacation currently 😄

I managed to get it running using different JDKs with small changes:

1. Java Code: I created a new Launcher class and moved the main method to that class (according to this article using the wildly irresponsible cowboy fix).
2. pom: I downgraded the JFX libs to 11 in order to test with different Java versions.

I tested successfully with following JDKs in my environment:

17.0.4, x86_64: "OpenJDK 17.0.4"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home
17.0.3, x86_64: "Zulu 17.34.19" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-17.jdk/Contents/Home
15.0.7, x86_64: "Zulu 15.40.19" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-15.jdk/Contents/Home
15, x86_64: "AdoptOpenJDK 15"   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home
14.0.1, x86_64: "AdoptOpenJDK 14"   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home
11.0.6, x86_64: "AdoptOpenJDK 11"   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home

Here the modified project: demo_treimers.zip

@kia we can discuss this next week when you are back. Enjoy!

Using 1.6.6 with the suggestion of @treimers it works fine.
