Has anybody out there gotten compose to work on the mac? I downloaded the SDK for Java from Apples web site and tried to run compose from JBindery using "compose.GUI" as a class, but it says there is no such class. Help!

I don't know much about MACs, but isn't the Compose.jar file really just a .zip? Maybe if the archive is opened the classes would be visible on a MAC. Just theorizing... -Jeff H.

'Don't know... It came in a zip file and the .jar was a result of unzipping it. I'll have to see if it will unzip some more. Trouble is, I'm clueless about Java (the last time I did any programming it was using C on a unix machine and that was a long time ago). Thanks Jeff!

I changed the .jar extension to .zip and it opened. Maybe the MAC can see these files then? -Jeff H.

Thanks Jeff! I'm off to give it a try...

Jeff, I got it un-zipped (stuFfit wouldn't recognize it but UNZIP did) and there's one folder (directory) full of class files but I don't see one labled "compose". Do you have any idea of what I should do next? Thanks!

Not really. What does Jbindery do? Now that the files are open maybe they have to be complied into an executable for the MAC Java Runtime. -Jeff H.

Jeff, I'm assuming that Jbindery "binds" whatever mac OS code is necessary to the Java application so that the java runtime program (MRJ) can launch it. There's a PDF in the JBindery folder -- 'guess I'll have to print it out when I get home tonight (I hate trying to read those PDF's on the screen!). Maybe it'll tell me in plain english what to do... Right!
