DRC,
Thanks for the update!
Is your Mac powerful enough to run a virtual Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8)
instance? I have
a virtual OS X 10.8 instance running within VMWare Fusion on OS X 10.7, which
is a lot
cheaper than buying a new Mac to test OS X 10.8.
One thing you should be aware of in OS X 10.8 is Gatekeeper. The default
security setting
is to only allow applications downloaded from the Mac App Store and from
identified
developers, so when I double-click on the TurboVNC pkg, I get a message saying
"TurboVNC.pkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer".
As a
workaround, the user can just right-click it and select Open from the pop-up
menu, but the
Apple-recommended approach is to use a code-signing certificate. I've tried
doing this
with a standard code-signing certificate, but the only way I could get OS X
10.8 to
acknowledge me as an "identified developer" was to use an official Apple
code-signing
certificate, which is free, but only after paying $100 per year to join the
Apple
developer program.
I have tested the Java Swing full-screen mode code that I referred you to, and
on
OS X 10.7, it doesn't just add a non-functional full-screen button to the
window's title
bar - it functions just the same as full-screen mode in other Mac OS X
applications. And I have also tested programmatically toggling full-screen mode
with success, using:
com.apple.eawt.Application.getApplication().requestToggleFullScreen(turboVncViewport);
I've also tested event-handling, which seems to work on OS X 10.7 (Java
1.6.0_37) :
com.apple.eawt.FullScreenUtilities.addFullScreenListenerTo(turboVncViewport,
new com.apple.eawt.FullScreenAdapter() {
public void windowEnteringFullScreen(com.apple.eawt.AppEvent.FullScreenEvent
fse) {
System.out.println("TurboVNC viewport entering full-screen.");
}
public void windowEnteredFullScreen(com.apple.eawt.AppEvent.FullScreenEvent
fse) {
System.out.println("TurboVNC viewport entered full-screen.");
}
public void windowExitingFullScreen(com.apple.eawt.AppEvent.FullScreenEvent
fse) {
System.out.println("TurboVNC viewport exiting full-screen.");
}
public void windowExitedFullScreen(com.apple.eawt.AppEvent.FullScreenEvent
fse) {
System.out.println("TurboVNC viewport exited full-screen.");
}
});
Feel free to send me a build (or SVN branch) of your attempts to do this,
and I can test it on OS X 10.7 and 10.8.
I'll ask my boss how much time we can justify me spending on this.
Cheers,
James
