Application is called "MainApplication" in the MacOS menu bar, instead of JOSM

[Polarbear-j]

Since some update in April, JOSM presents itself as "MainApplication" in the MacOS menu bar.

Works for me with Sierra and Java 8u131:

Can you please:

1. upgrade your version of Java
2. if the problem still occurs, post your status report and a screenshot
3. see if the problem disappears by upgrading to Sierra

[Polarbear-j]

Did upgrade now Java -> 1.8.0_131 and JOSM -> today
Still running MacOS 10.11.6, will not change a major system release on my production system just for a decorative issue.
This should work in 10.11 as well as it is still supported by Apple.

@Stereo: can you please tell me if you face the same problem with Sierra?

If the problem is specific to an old version of macOs I won't fix it. Apple supports it, but we don't.

[Stereo]

I can't reproduce it on 10.12.4 either. Strange bug!

[Don-vip]

OK seems to be an old macOs bug then.

[Polarbear-j]

Since it is a decorative issue, I am not crying too loud here.
However it worked before in my very same MacOS release, and the first response by bastiK pointed to a changeset where exactly this label was removed.

[stoecker]

I'd suggest to revert that change. Costs are minimal.

[Don-vip]

@Polarbear-j: are you at least using the OSX package? Have you tried with WebStart?

[anonymous]

Ah, tried josm-macosx.zip --> JOSM.app

which correctly displays 'JOSM'. Which apparently comes from the Info.plist in the packacke, I can hack other names into this.

However it seems only the stable versions are packaged, and calling as an app I don't see the terminal output which I occasionally need to check (does that go elsewhere?)

Normally I get the josm-latest.jar from the server and call it from the terminal.

[Don-vip]

OK I didn't get you were launching the jar from command line, very few people on macOS do that.

[Don-vip]

In 12123/josm:

see #14741 - proper registration of application name on macOS

[Don-vip]

@Michael: I need your help here.

I have registered the macOS application name in the proper way in r12123 but it does not work yet because JOSM loads AWT/Swing classes before PlatformHook.preStartupHook, which shouldn't be.

The root cause if the initialisation of Main.mainPanel:

    /**
     * The real main panel. This field may be removed any time and made private to {@link MainFrame}
     * @see #panel
     */
    protected static final MainPanel mainPanel = new MainPanel(getLayerManager());

I totally agree with the comment, is it something you started to implement? I'd really like to see this field disappear from Main to fix this ticket.

[Don-vip]

By the way, isn't it a big EDT violation to initialize a JPanel here?

[michael2402]

I have no Idea how MacOS handles this naming...

We have an EDT violation here, but it does not cause problems since we are calling it before main() even starts and before we do anything else using swing.

The reason I moved it there was that I had dependency problems (Main.panel). It would be good to move the initialization to somewhere later.
If there are no dependencies on Main.panel being the main panel any more, we can even move this initialization to the end of the startup process (UI construction). I don't know if it will cause problems with plugins, there are so many references to Main.panel that I did not check them all.

[Don-vip]

OK thanks, I check how to sort this issue.

[Don-vip]

In 12125/josm:

see #14741 - rework initialization of Main.Panel so that it is done after PlatformHook.preStartupHook, as any other Swing code

[naoliv]

I guess that [12125] caused #14783

[Don-vip]

In 12128/josm:

see #14741 - rework initialization of Main.contentPanePrivate

[Don-vip]

ok it works now :)

[Don-vip]

In 12133/josm:

see #14741 - findbugs

[Polarbear-j]

yeah, thanks :-) (12133)

[Polarbear-j]

The issue is back for me.

It worked correctly with the previous version I downloaded on 20 August.

[Stereo]

Hi Polarbear! Can you please see if the issue is fixed in ​https://openstreetmap.lu/JOSM.zip ?

[anonymous]

Hm, I did not pay attention recently what was showing up and when.
Anyway I typically use the josm-latest.jar and call it from the terminal, not the app.
Meanwhile I'm running macos 10.14.6 and the JOSM title shows correctly in:

Java version: 1.8.0_251-b08, Oracle Corporation, Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

I'm a bit reluctant to try the app version from the zip file in parallel,
unless I know if it uses the same or different folders for prefs, plugins an caches?

[Polarbear-j]

Replying to anonymous:
reply above was mine.

[Stereo]

Yeah, that'll be fine. It might, in the worst case, upgrade some plugins, but if you want to go back to java -jar and the old version, and they're incompatible, you could uninstall and reinstall them.

I've been using that way of building the .app as my "daily" JOSM for the last couple of weeks.

That .app also supports retina resolution, which is great for imagery, and the http/2 plugin, which makes imagery faster.
