import com.apple.eawt.AppEvent; import com.apple.eawt.Application; import java.io.File; import java.util.List; import javax.swing.SwingUtilities; The com.apple.eawt stuff is shipped with Oracle JRE and JDK, but like I said in my previous mail you need to pass a flag to the compiler to turn off it's index and read the jar. The JavaDoc has gone MIA though -- https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027638 but you can peruse the source code to see the details, it's all OpenJDK - http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u40/jdk/file/564bca490631/src/macosx/classes/com/apple/eawt On Jan 5, 2015, at 10:43 AM, Mike Hearn <m...@plan99.net> wrote: > What is Application.getApplication() here?
