What Is Mac Os Java Web Start.app

The most recent Java auto-update through OS X (Leopard) is causing some problems with Java Web Start, the program used to launch the MDO Transporter program. If you’ve gone through the update and your Java Web Start is no longer available it means that the update wasn’t completely successful.

A symptom of this is trying to launch a Java Web Start Application (Transporter for My Docs users) and having it open something that looks like a text file.

When Java Web Start software first loads an application, information from the application's JNLP file is stored in the local Java Cache Viewer. To launch the application again, you do not need to return to the web page where you first launched it; you can launch it from the Java Cache Viewer. To open the Java Cache Viewer: Open the Control Panel.

Fortunately there is a fairly simple solution to the problem. You can manually re-install the Java Update from this Apple location.

This page outlines the status of high-level feature areas to bring from Apple's Java SE 6 to the Mac OS X port of JDK 7u4.

7u4 is now complete; 7u6 is in active development in jdk7u-dev.

A list of popular open issues is available at the JIRA bug reporter.

Features in the macosx-port src repository

• Build
  • build .jdk bundle (for CommandLine and embedded use only)
  • build embeddable .jre bundle
• HotSpot
  • DTrace v2-style probes
• Core Libraries
  • Load .jnilib (in addition to .dylib) - fixed for 7u4!

• • NIO
    • kqueue based Selectors
    • WatchService implementation (kqueue-based)
    • WatchService implementation (polling-based)
  • System properties fixup (vendor name, etc)
    • Resolve 'Darwin' vs. 'Mac OS X' checks
• Networking
• X11
• Universal binaries
• JObjC
  • get tests passing
  • self-generate BridgeSupport full files
• Cocoa AWT
  • 2D drawing (OpenGL based)
  • Cocoa key/text events
    • cleanup to use JRSEvent API
  • merge JDK6 CWindow -> LWCWindow changes and style flags
  • update CImage
  • threading cleanup
• Aqua LaF
  • Requires an image tile cache
  • Screen Menu Bar
    • Needs cleanup to use JRSMenu API
  • Needs refresh from Apple trunk
• Fonts/Text drawing
  • Needs cleanup to use JRSFont API
• Smartcard
• Fix Kerberos code to read config info from SCDynamicStore (needed on Lion) | http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-566]

Features not yet ported from Apple's Java SE 6

• Bundled app launching
  • JavaApplicationStub replacement
    • Stub source now checked in. More tools for bundling an app are coming.
    • Stub and AWT reviewed for sandboxing
      • need to fix JavaSound, launcher stub, and remove dependency on X11 libfreetype.

Features not in public macosx-port ('deploy' is private to Oracle). You'll have to trust us on these – deploy is not ready to be open-sourced.

• Applets/Plugin2
  • Need to create .plugin bundle
    • Need to embed slimmed JRE into .plugin bundle
  • Need NPAPI/Cocoa event -> Java event conversion
  • Need the LWAWT to render into NSOpenGLLayer (see above)
    • Need cross-process CALayer connection mechanism to be exposed
  • Need to determine update mechanism (Sparkle.framework?)
  • JavaFx support
• Web Start
  • Need to determine delivery vehicle (inside Applet plug-in, or some other form) – Java Web Start.app will find javaws in the deployment bundle and execute that. Requires at least 10.7.3.
  • Shortcut support
• Java Preferences
  • UI cleanup: Look better on Mac OS X
  • Preference pane

Non-feature tasks

• Merge BSDPort into mainline jdk so that Mac OS X Port can be inserted into mainline:
  • Merge BSDPort hotspot, patch and description at: BSDPort, Description of jdk7 changes
• Move internal bugs to http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT
• Write up development wiki pages for
  • AppKit Threading & Cocoa Memory Management best practices examples
  • Internal 'Adopt-an-app' testing workflows
• Port private JUnit harness tests to jtreg

Non-Features

These features will not be ported to OpenJDK from the Apple Java SE 6 port

• MacRoman default encoding
  • UTF-8 only, for all locales/languages
• NSView-based AWT heavyweight widgets
  • LWAWT Swing-based widgets only
• NSView-based JAWT embedding
  • CALayer embedding instead
• CocoaComponent
  • Use CALayer-based JAWT embedding instead
• SWT Carbon EventLoop support
  • No 32-bit only technologies, Cocoa only
• JNI instantiation through the JavaVM.framework
  • Embed your own JRE instead
• Apple JavaApplicationStub
  • Use the new JavaAppLauncher, loads an embedded .jre, JavaApplicationStub compatible
• Apple native crypto
  • Use standard Java crypto
• HotSpot Shared Archive Generation
  • Automatic JSA creation is of limited use until HotSpot supports class sharing in 64-bit, and in all garbage collectors
