EdgeSounds' RatHole (former GenieSys RatHole) is a free unique nondestructive universal compression utility. Its function is based on a principle of self-training neural networks.

EdgeSounds RatHole was especially designed for nondestructive compression of any files containing audio data in PCM 8/16/24 bit or IEEE_FLOAT 32 bit format.

A new EdgeSounds compression algorithm makes it possible to efficiently reduce the size of packed audio data and later unpack exactly same bits, with no difference to the original data. The compression algorithm compresses audio data, considering the bit depth of the digital data contained in the audio file (8/16/24/32 bit).

RatHole works with the following file extensions:

Note: You can click on any file extension link from the list below, to view its detailed information. The list of extensions used or otherwise associated with the application may not be complete, because many common file extensions on our website, such as jpg (pictures) or txt (text files), can be opened by a large number of applications, or are too general file format. However most, if not all directly associated file extensions should be listed with its appropriate program. Although its likely, that some file extensions may be missing from the list of associated file extensions with the application, yet they can be opened, be part of, or otherwise be associated with the program.

Lost 6 hours of my life tracking down this issue, and of course in the end it turns out to be my user error, although as always as a developer you challenge whether it needed to be this hard to debug.

Objective

What was I trying to achieve was to create mac app bundle to put in a dmg to distribute my java desktop app. In Eclipse, generated a Mac app bundle using the export task.

Into Finder, double clicked the app and nothing happens. A quick search around Console, shows:

A quick google makes suggestions like there’s no main entry point defined in the jar file

This however is a rat-hole, there is indeed no main entry point defined in the manifest but a few more searches reveal the package isn’t invoked using java -jar xx.jar, it’s invoked using java -cp xx.jar mainEntryPoint. So we check the Info.plist in the app bundle, and find the main class is defined. So what’s going wrong?

This article http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/packagingAppsForMac.html seems to imply a tool is needed at Java 7, so yep, great but why wouldn’t that be in eclipse already, i.e. why would eclipse claim to produce an app bundle if it did it the wrong way? Is it? Time to go build one manually and see.

Manually creating an App Bundle, Java 7 (1.7.0_45-b18), Mac OS X 10.9.2

Downloaded appbundler-1.0.jar from https://java.net/projects/appbundler/downloads, as described in the Oracle article above and put it in a test directory.

Set up the build.xml file from the various entries on the java.net and Oracle articles referenced above and running ant causes a no such file exception. It’s looking for an Info.plist file to be in the build directory. Odd, this isn’t mentioned anywhere!

Helpful: http://supunmali-myexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/jar-bundler-mac-os-x.html, resolved by setting JAVA_HOME but then I hit another problem:

Rat-hole Mac Os Update

If you’re not an experience Ant user (and I am not!), what this means is I forgot a target statement in the build.xml file, here’s the file I used at this stage which worked ….. or so I thought, it certainly allowed Ant to build the app bundle.

And this gave me:

Frustratingly, trying to launch the generated .app bundle, I got exactly the same errors. What was going on here? I checked the Mac OS X Gatekeeper security level, it’s set to allow apps downloaded from anywhere so this should work!

There are many articles on various things which cause the 10810 error, from process table full to permissions and missing libraries.

What a huge diversion all these ratholes are you can go down. This is all so sketchy, returning errors meaning “unknown error”, meaningless “return code 1” in the syslog.

Bottom line is: do not try and follow the examples, work stuff out. Mine was failing because ……. I had assumed the main method name needed specific in the mainclassname statement, as is shown in the Oracle example. As soon as I made it the class name, and not the method it worked. i.e.

Should I post this? After all it was my error in specifying it wrongly. Yes, because if anyone else is searching for answers in this murky, poorly documented space, made messy by Apple divorcing Java without a properly focused handing of the baton to Oracle….. this might just help!

I’m now scared … Mac, Sandbox, App Store: And the world just got infinitely more complicated …. http://www.intransitione.com/blog/take-java-to-app-store/
