We are using Java 1.8.0 25.0-b69 64bit (build 129) Customer was on Mac OS X 10.9.2 x86_64, I've upgraded to same version still don't get the problem. Applescript does exist because earlier in my code I run some applescript using osascript and Runtime class and that works finel don't know that it was precisely determined what caused this. Possibly some change in an OS upgrade where Apple removed something from their java distribution? Although we didn't know it, we were relying on the Apple code being in place. Your three options would be… 1) Provide the code in the jar and dylib yourself. This is what I did and what I made available on github at… https://github.com/mik3hall/AppleScriptEngine All you really need are the jar and dylib. Put the dylib in the application's MacOSX folder. appbundler adds that to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Put the jar in the application's Java folder, this should get it into class path. Done and should work on any configuration. 2). Fix the openjdk configuration error yourself. This means adding the AppleScriptEngine entry to the config file in resources.jar. I believe the bug report I gave earlier details how to do that. 3). Wait for openjdk to correct the configuration file in resources.jar My understanding on that one anyhow.
