Re: [OT] Mac OS X and Java development

[Tom Wagner]

hi,
with a jetty-class i did it
don't know - i'm sure there are better solutions

java -version
java version "1.5.0_13"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)
(on a mac)

openssl pkcs12 -export -in my.crt -inkey my.key -out my.p12
keytool -storetype pkcs12 -list -v -keystore my.p12 -storepass pass
openssl pkcs12 -info -in my.p12

keytool -list -v -keystore my.jks -storepass pass

With Mac OS X I also have no access to the source code of the JDK.

Which makes me wonder again how to do serious Java development with Mac OS X. I know a few of you guys are using Mac OS X. How do you do it?

Today I have faced the first real barrier: I had to convert a PKCS12 keystore to JKS, which is only possible with JDK 6 (AFAIK), so I had to use a Windows machine for this task :(

Whenever I start this I get annoyed very fast. The missing Java sources are only the tip of the iceberg. Every tree representation in Eclipse just sucks. Keyboard navigation in Mac OS X is completely inconsistent, especially with Java programs. There seems to be no serious SVN command line client (or at least the CollabNet download page is just self-linking at the moment: http://downloads.open.collab.net/binaries.html) . And so on ... Windows has also bunch of annoying issues but there is at least consistency and usually there is a solution for everything. Do you guys all switch to Linux when it comes to Java development? :)
