8u40 has made all webstart launched apps unusable (on a mac). Seems to be a problem with the initial splash screen implementation which borks everything afterwards. No focus, keyboard events, menu, dock, cmd-tab, etc.
Probably the issue you are having. Is IntelliJ starting your app with javaws command? And, as a side note, absolutely mind blowing that Oracle released the update with a bug so huge. Not even their own webstart demos are working. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28904317/java-8u40-on-os-x-yosemite http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28865399/osx-blocking-jnlp-launch-java1-8u40-anyone-know-why On 3/11/15 12:39 PM, Robert Krüger wrote: > Hi, > > after updating to 8u40 our application no longer displays a screen menu (we > use -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar="true"), the dock Icon is gone as well and > the Frame pops up behind the IDE window (this is all when starting from > within Intellij).
