I made an app in netbeans and build my project to create a jar file. When I double click on jar file the app get started without any problem. Now I packaged the app using appbundler. I follow every instruction from here.
I issued the command ant bundle-filemanager
and FileManager.app is appeared in dist
directory. Here is the build.xml
project name="File_Manager" default="default" basedir=".">
<description>Builds, tests, and runs the project File Manager.</description>
<import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
<property environment="env" />
<taskdef name="filemanager"
classname="com.oracle.appbundler.AppBundlerTask"
classpath="lib/appbundler-1.0.jar" />
<target name="bundle-filemanager">
<filemanager outputdirectory="dist"
name="FileManager"
displayname="File Manager"
identifier="file.manager.MainActivity"
mainclassname="file.manager.MainActivity">
<runtime dir="${env.JAVA_HOME}" />
<classpath file="dist/File_Manager.jar" />
</filemanager>
</target>
</project>
Now if I double click on FileManager.app it won't start. Just show icon in dock for a second and get disappear from dock.
