Mac OS X

(redirected from Main.MacOSX)

For Mac OS X there are even two version of the program. One normal desktop application, with all the debugger extras of the desktop application and one widget version for quick start on the dashboard.

Both share the same files and setting so you can develop programs with the desktop application and run them with the dashboard widget.

Desktop Application

Note that for MacOS you need Java 1.5 or better upgrade and make it your default Java for applications. The Mac OS X version comes as a bundle and behaves like any Mac OS X application.

Installation

Open the downloaded DMG file then drag and drop the application into the Application folder. If you don't have administrator right any other folder will do as well. Optional you can drag and drop the icon to the Dock as well.

De-Installation

Just drag and drop the application into the trash can.

Dashboard Widget

Installation

Double clicking the Dashboard widget will install and start the widget. You can then try it out and decide if you want to keep it.

If you want to read and write programs from the Widget you need to authorise the Widget – otherwise Java security will block the attempt.

For this create a file called “.java.policy in your home directory with the following 7 lines in them:

grant codeBase "file:///Users/username/Library/Widgets/FX-602P.wdgt/FX-602P-Applet.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:///Library/Widgets/FX-602P.wdgt/FX-602P-Applet.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Replace username with your own user name.

De-Installation

De-install the widget using the widget manager.

On Mac OS X the programs and data are stored as normal files in “/Users/username/FX-602P/” with username being your own user name.

Force a display size.

Normally the display size is chosen automatically for your from three different sizes. However you can force a specific size by opening the “/Users/username/FX-602P/fx-602p.properties” file and adding (or changing if already added) the following line:
