The distribution for windows was just a folder. (no installer). So no icons.

The corresponding binaries do work: bin/jconsole bin/jhs.command bin/jqt.command I did follow the instructions you point to (suitably modified from 805 to 806, of course). How to get the icons app icons to work?? (2) However, after I open jqt from the binary bin/jqt.command, although the jqt window opens, none of the menu items is operable. Further, if I run instead binary bin/jqt, I get only a console — no jqt window — with error message shown below: [me@:~]$ /Applications/j64-806/bin/jqt ; exit; This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Abort trap: 6 logout When following the 805 instructions for 806 instead, I did use “installer 0”, and I do have folder j64-806/Qt with subfolders Frameworks and plugins, both poppulated.
