Add arguments to runnable jar file Mac OS

Question

I have created little java program with SWT. For run it on Mac I need to use argument XstartOnFirstThread. So from terminal I can start it like

java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar progname.jar

Can I open this program using double click with this parameter? I know I may create script to run it, but is this possible without script?

Answer 1

There is a related question here .

The answer posted by Peter Lawrey states it outright: There is no way to pass the argument when starting the .jar by double-clicking.

However, there are alternatives:

1. The double click starts a wrapper program which then starts your program with the parameter (as suggested in the linked answer).
2. Create a script file that launches your application.
3. Create a proper OSX application instead .
