Application shortcut on macOS doesn't work
Posted: 27 Jul 2020, 14:47
Hello,
On macOS Catalina, I have Open Webstart 1.1.8 installed. Upon launching my app’s jnlp, it created the app link under Applications. However, nothing happened when I clicked on it. Every time, it required me to launch the application from Jnlp file directly.
Upon checking further, found that the OpenWebStart install path is incorrect in start.sh script. I edited manually and am now able to launch my application fine.
/Applications/<MyApplicationName>.app/Contents/MacOS/start.sh
#!/bin/sh
open -a "/Applications/OpenWebStart javaws.app" “<MyApplicationJNLPFilePath>”
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Vijayasri
