I apparently remembered this correctly. I added the above
NSAppleEventsUsageDescription to a copied Info.plist and it worked from the
resources dir.
On the AppleEvent permission issue it was my misunderstanding on that. I
thought I should pass my application bundle id for the user to give permission
to.
But it should be passed the ‘other’ bundle id of what I want to send events to.
So in this case with the permission request…
System.out.println(aePerm("com.apple.systemevents",true));
You can then…
exec open "/System/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app”. [The target
app must be running or -600 error]
us.hall.osx.AEPermit
[This got the dialog requesting permission without hanging]
0
And an AppleScript against System Events can be run…
mps
376 Finder com.apple.finder
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app MACS
836 Mail com.apple.mail /System/Applications/Mail.app emal
1338 AdobeReader com.adobe.Reader /Applications/Adobe Acrobat
Reader DC.app CARO
2225 Terminal com.apple.Terminal
/System/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app ????
2398 HalfPipe us.hall.HalfPipe
/Users/mjh/HalfPipe/HalfPipe_jpkg/outputdir/HalfPipe.app ????
2834 System Preferences com.apple.systempreferences
/System/Applications/System Preferences.app sprf
2855 eclipse org.eclipse.platform.ide
/Users/mjh/java-2019-06/Eclipse.app ????
Old AppleScript based command to get Apple specific information about running
processes from System Events, which is an application itself I just found out.
Requesting permission for your own bundle id hangs. Otherwise no problem, and
nothing jpackage/Java related for that matter.
But to indicate resolved.
