I would like to launch Java Web Start applications from Firefox on Mac OS X Mavericks by clicking on the link which provides the .jnlp file.
So far I only found a work around:
saving the jnlp file
opening it in finder
right click "open with"
then choosing Java Web Start
This is not comfortable and it seems it might be intended, because Java (here an Oracle Java 8 JRE) was downloaded from the Oracle web site and not from the app store.
Is there a better solution to integrate Java Web Start and Firefox?
I just had this and found the solution here: http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/docs/default-source/cm-ecf/macfirefox.pdf
Basically:
Click the link to the jnlp file
In the window that pops up, choose Open With and in the drop down choose Other...
From the local Hard Drive, navigate to System > Library > Core Services > Java Web Start
Tick the Do this automatically for files like this from now on box
Click Open
In future, jnlp links should open with Java Web Start automatically

Before when I was using xcode server to integrate project I have some web interface to display if bots was sucesfull or not.
It's a figure 7-1 from here
Now I see this option is not fully dead but it's definetly doesn't work well. So I can see the option in context menu here to point out to a browser.
but when I do that it's only shows:
And in new server there is no Xcode tab even.
Anyone know it's still possible to have web interface for bots in Xcode?
What fixed it for me was to uncheck "Using Server app on a remote Mac" within the macOS Server app and rebooting the server. The checkbox is located in the main section of the Server app in the "Settings" tab.
Aptana studio used to work fine on OS X El Capitan but after updating to Sierra it doesn't work anymore... Can anybody help me fix this? I keep getting a crash log every time screenshot uploaded I open the app. Something I've noticed is that the aptana icon in the applications is a folder and not just a normal app icon. Earlier as I remember it was just a normal app icon on El Capitan. I use aptana on a daily basis as a university student so its vital for me for this to work.
Edit: I have tried a lot of methods including reinstalling java but still it doesn't work. Only way to make it work is to open up the application package and open the terminal executable aptana3. It runs perfectly then but if I launch from the usual app drawer icon it crashes.
This security measure can correct it from System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General tab.
By default, Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from does not appear Anywhere “. But with a simple instruction from the command line so we can correct.
Go to the folder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
In Terminal, enter or copy…
sudo spctl --master-disable
Type your password (it will not appear, however it is present) and press Enter
Click the lock and enter your Administrator password to make changes.
After changing this option, and can install any software, so if compatible with OS 10.12.
Open finder and navigate to "Applications -> Aptana"
Right click on the Aptana executable and click show contents
Navigate to "Content -> MacOS"
Double click click on AptanaStudio3
You will get a popup saying you need legacy Java SE 6
Click "More Info..." button and download and install it (very slow download, just wait it out)
Once installed double click the AptanaStudio icon in step 4 and Aptana Studio 3 will open
You will need to use that as the shortcut as the Aptana icon from installation will still not work.
Good luck.
I have same problem and solved with some workaround.
First download and install java for mac: https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/javaforosx.dmg
If this not work or you reinstalled aptana after upgrading to sierra I advice to find a old copy of aptana directory and put it to application directory.
I had the same problems on MacOS Sierra; crashing on load, or the JVM error if I launch from within the package contents.
I didn't find any solution to this directly, but instead I installed the latest version of Eclipse first, then installed Aptana from Eclipse. That seems to be working.
In order to use Aptan on El Capitan, first you must install the legacy java 6 version for mac:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The only thing is that you won't be able to access it like a normal application on your mac.
To open Aptana you must run:
Applications -> Aptana(right click to "Show package contents") -> Contents -> MacOS -> AptanaStudio3
I want to install the vlc web plugin for chrome on my mac (Mountain Lion) . I could succesfully do it on Windows by just selecting web plugin at the time of vlc installation. However, on a mac I think the plugin comes as a seperate package. Can someone please tell me how to do it as I have failed after several tries
Until the stable version is released, you can install a recent nightly webplugin from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/?C=N;O=A.
It may have bugs, but it works for the few instances I've used it.
There is no compatible VLC browser plugin available on the Mac at this point. We re-wrote it over the cause of the last year and will re-release an entirely new version this spring along with VLC 2.2 for desktop platforms.
This currently works. Here is a step by step guide:
In your browser go to http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/
and download the latest VLC-webplugin-*.dmg.
Today the latest file appears to be this VLC-webplugin-20150922-0538.dmg
Open the .dmg file (double click, and a popup window will appear), drag the VLC Plugin.plugin to the Internet Plugins shortcut; This location is really /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/
In the Chrome address bar type chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and press Enter/Return.
You will see a list of settings, with a blue link to disable or enable.
Click 'Enable', under 'Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows', (this Enables NPAPI Mac, Windows. It enables the use of NPAPI plugins.)
Restart Chrome
In the Chrome address bar type chrome://plugins/ and press Enter/Return
You should now see 'VLC Web Plugin - Version: 2.2.2'
As the title states, is there an equivalent to Click Once application deployment for the Mac?
I ask this because the version of Safari that ships with Lion has removed DMG (disk image) files as a "safe file type" that is opened after downloading. The company I work for has a rather special-purpose application that should launch as soon as it is downloaded.
I want to be able to drag Findbugs to the Dock on my Mac.
The problem is it's a JNLP.
Is there a distilled idiots guide to creating an Mac application bundle from a JNLP?
I saw this article on the Apple website: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/03-JavaDeployment/JavaDeployment.html
but it was a case of 'information overload'!
Quoting from the Java Web Start section of the linked article:
Mac OS X’s desktop integration with Java Web Start lets users can create a local application bundle from any Java Web Start application. The Shortcut Creation setting in Java Preferences controls whether the user is prompted to create an application bundle when opening a Java Web Start application. Bundled Java Web Start applications have all of the benefits of native application bundles, which are described in “Mac OS X Application Bundles.”
Try looking in Applications->Utilities->Java Preferences. Click on the Advanced tab. You should see the Shortcut Creation setting. Let us know if it works for you.
