ok, here is the deal,
im good at writing Java applets and I am wondering how i can port them to an native app in OSX. All i want is a window that i can draw my applet in. Is it possible? Can i use the same drawing functions that i use in my applet?

If it is possible, could somebody please tell me how i would go about doing it?

Thank you very much,
Loren

All you need to do is write a main method that creates a Frame, adds the Applet to it, and runs the Applet. This ends up with an application/applet, one important things is to initialize any params your applet might be expecting, but the following show the general idea.

MyApplet extends Applet {
...
public static void main(String[] args) {
Frame f = new Frame("MyApplication");
Applet myApplet = new MyApplet();
f.add(myApplet);
f.show();
myApplet.init();
myApplet.start();
}
}

As an aside(that you may already know)...

You can use Project Builder to make it double-clickable as well. I can't remember off hand how to include a .jar(or separate .class files) in Project Builder but somewhere around here I think someone asked that very question.

hope it helps!

Use MRJAppBuilder

[IamBob]

I would've said MRJAppBuilder but I think it's harder to use.

I did alot of Java stuff on OS9 and was delighted that MRJAppBuilder made it through into OSX but it wasn't the same. I attempted to use it a couple of times and gave up with nothing to show for my time. ProjectBuilder makes it pretty simple so I saw no need to use(read: learn to use) MRJAppBuilder. Also, for other(Cocoa, Carbon, etc.) development you'll probably end up using ProjectBuilder anyway.

I suppose that's just my 2¢ though.
