For j805-mac64.zip of 2016-11-23, on macOS Sierra (10.12.1), there are still
issues with apps:
(1) After installing jqt (via “install ‘jqtide’ from J console),
double-clicking jqt.app does nothing and, in particular, does NOT start jqt.
- I can start jqt by the awkward method of showing the package contents
of jqt.app, navigating to Contents/MacOS, and double-clicking apprun there; or,
alternatively, by double-clicking jqt.command in j64-805/bin.
- in each case, this has the annoying side-effect of opening a Terminal
window.
(2) Neither jcon.app nor jhs.app work (even after the usual rigamarole of
right-clicking the first time to give the OS permission to open them): nothing
seems to happen.
But the separate apps jc805.app and jhs805.app created by running the
shortcut.ijs script, per instructions at
http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/QuickStartBase#Finish_Base_Installation
<http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/QuickStartBase#Finish_Base_Installation>
do work,
From my cursory inspection of shortcut.ijs, it seems that this script just
recreates apps for jconsole and jhs.
So what, exactly, is the purpose of jcon.app and jhs.app?
