Description
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/macosx-port-dev/2013-October/006104.html Java 7 on Mac no longer supports apple.awt.use-file-dialog-packages property OSX 10.8 Darwin macbook.local 12.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.4.0: Wed May 1 17:57:12 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.24.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 java version "1.7.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode) In Java 6 on OSX the apple.awt.use-file-dialog-packages property is used by FIleDialog to display application bundles as leaf node rather than a folder (which is what they actually are). This allows an application to create a dialog that lets the user pick a bundle as an application i.e to let them configure their browser or Texteditor. This option is no longer available I no longer have that installed but this worked with Apples version of Java Create a FileDialog Navigate to the /Applications folder Applications are listed and cannot be expanded, the same behaviour as using a Finder window Use of the the property can be seen in ApplicationDialog within this project https://java.net/projects/mrjadapter/sources/svn/content/trunk/src/net/roydesign/ui/ApplicationDialog.java?rev=35 The problem is that this issue makes it difficult to update my application to use Java 7 rather than Java 6 as we are being advised to do because it degrades the functionality of my application
