Hi, James.
Fix looks fine to me as well.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for taking a look. To answer your questions, the application:openFiles and application:printFiles methods should not need similar special treatment - the passed instances should be getting implicitly retained and released by the block from my understanding, and can be queued for later processing without a problem. Testing locally with those handlers, the OpenFilesEvent and PrintFilesEvent events on the java-side are delivered without issue when the app is launched from an open file or print file event from the Finder.

The issue with the passed NSAppleEventDescriptors is that while the objects are properly retained and released by the block, the Apple Event Handling system seems to be marking the instance's internal state as otherwise invalid/expired even though the instance itself is still retained. I'm unable to find any specific documentation or discussion about the lifecycle of these event descriptor objects though.

    Hi James,

    I like your patch.

    Do you know if other handlers are affected by a similar issue? In
    particular, the application:openFiles and application:printFiles
    also take references to NSObjects as their arguments. Could you
    please test if these handlers are affected or not?

        Hi - this issue was originally discussed on the jdk7u-dev list
        here:
        http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2013-May/006446.html

        Additionally a report should be available soon in the bug
        database as
        (JDK-8015302)
        http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8015302

        To summarize, a bundled mac application which registers custom url
        schemes via the CFBundleURLSchemes entry in its Info.plist,
        and listens
        for uri events using
        com.apple.eawt.Application.setOpenURIHandler, will
        not receive the URI used to launch the application.

        Once the application is running however, subsequent openURI
        events will
        be delivered without issue. The problem only manifests with
        the URI is
        used to launch the App initially.

        When the app is opened via URI, the following appears in the
        system log:

        ----------
        JavaAppLauncher[74278]: -[NSAppleEventDescriptor
        paramDescriptorForKeyword:] called on invalid
        NSAppleEventDescriptor
        ----------

        It appears that since the QueueingApplicationDelegate is only
        keeping
        references to those descriptor objects instead of making deep
        copies of
        them,
        the event descriptor for the initial URI that launches the app is
        invalidated by the time the app actually gets around to
        processing it.

        The following patch (same for both jdk8 and jdk7u sources)
        seems to
        resolve the issue:
