#2430 — Java JDK1.5 App on Mac OS

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hello All,

I have a Java application I have been developing and using for years
on Windows.   I just recently  started testing this application on a
brand new iMac with OS X 10.4.10 and Java SE 1.5.

The Mac version of the application looks different that the Windows
version.  The JButtons on the toolbar are 2 different sizes on the Mac
and not Windows XP and JButtons in another toolbar have no borders on
the Mac but do on Windows XP.

Anyway,   my question is:

Does anyone have any Java experience on the Mac and if so,  are there
any documents that might explain differences in the Apple iMac version
of Java SE 1.5 vs the Sun Windows version Java SE 1.5?

Thanks in advance,

The Apple website has a ton of Mac OS X Java information.

As a general rule, use layout managers and don't hardcode sizes and
positions. Further, avoid messing with widget settings to overwrite
default behavior or default representations. This often breaks on
other platforms and PLAFs.

1. Use as explicit LAF.  See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/laf.html
2. Use layout managers, not absolute positioning. see
