Anchor Java application in Mac OS X dock?

Question

I have a Java (Swing) application and I want to anchor it in the OS X dock. But, if I try do it, my app don't start correctly. Instead of it, a terminal is starting. Maybe, I must write script to run my app. Maybe, I must create *.app file for my app.

Can you advise some articles on how to anchor a Java application to the Mac OS X dock?

Answer 1

Yes, you need to build an *.app package for your application. You can use the Jar Bundler - it should be supplied with Xcode (haven't used it for a long time, it came with the developer tools from the OSX install CD when I used it).
