You'll have to be more specific about the starting point, like giving  
the URL of the App that Spaces doesn't recognize, or at least giving  
its Info.plist. 

You mentioned before that maybe some UNIX setting might be an issue.   
Well, you're not telling us any of those, either.

One more bit of info.  It seems that moving the app to where the old  
one was (which causes the Finder to put up a dialog) after replacing  
the plist is enough to make Spaces work.

You would have to post the actual plists, or URLs to them.  Without

A new or even just different application might update Launch Services  
database correctly where the failing one doesn't. Pretty much as has  
already been indicated. One Info.plist isn't necessarily better or  
worse than another, there is no entry in the plist that is the key to  
success. [...]

I read the two posts.  The problem is there whether or not the application is copied in from somewhere, the user logs out and in, the OS is restarted, etc.  Without CFBundleIdentifier spaces can see the app and it's icon, but does not add it.  With CFBundleIdentifier set it gets added but as unknown with no icon.  I spent a lot of time comparing my plist with the one from Maple - which works correctly - but nothing fixed the problem.  For example, adding LSHasLocalizedDisplayName does NOT fix it.     SURPRISE - I just got it to work by taking the working info.plist (for the other application) and editing it to the entries I needed.       MORE SURPRISE - taking my original plist and editing it to those same entries - does not work properly!!!        Maybe there are some UNIX or other flags which need setting?  Where do we look to see how to make applications behave in Spaces????

It's a little more complex than this though. There's the concept of  
the "default" look & feel, and the "system" look and feel (i.e., the  
"native" platform look&feel). 

The Mac OS X version of Java (from at least 1.4 to 1.6, probably 1.3  
as well) uses by default the system look & feel, which is Aqua. All  
other JVMs use the "default" look&feel by default, which is "Metal",  
(but in 1.5 was given a facelift and renamed "Ocean".) 

Most cross-platform Java apps install the system look&feel when they  
start up, so they adopt a platform-specific look&feel. If you want a  
cross-platform look&feel (so the app looks and behaves the same on  
all platforms) you should specifically set that at application  
startup. Otherwise you will get a different behavior when your app  
runs on a Mac vs. any other platform.

If you don't specify it you get the platform specific default - Aqua on OS

so you shouldn't depend on it anywhere.

If you want the cross platform L&F you should specify it with:

I used the default L&F which is presumably the cross-platform Metal L&F,

Amazing, I spent hours trying to figure out this bug and now realize 
that it is done intentionally. For my application it is critical that 
the cursor stays where it was last time it had the focus! What is the 
workaround? 

I can understand that Mac behaves in certain ways but I do not believe 
that the portability of Java should have been scarified! We Java 
programmers expect JVM to behave exactly the same in different operating 
systems. If you pick and choose, you will confuse us and discourage us 
from porting our application to Mac because of the extra coding 
involved. As insignificant as this issue may seem it rendered my entire 
product useless with tons of complains from my Mac users.

Related to my recent heap space issue,  has anyone come up with a
workable
crossplatform solution for configuring the memory usage of JVM by the
end user? 
I deliver my application in a multitude of ways as follows and would
not like
to have to come up with  five solutions to this very basic problem:

* Java Web Start 

* A Windows executable, a single file C-program that has the jar file
stucked to its
end, the C program launching the JVM and passing itself to the JVM as
jar file

* A Linux script, again the jar file concatenated to the end of script,
and the
script launching the JVM and passing itself as the jar file

* A Mac OS X bundle 

* Executable jar

(For details how this is accomplisehed  check my website at
http://www.sparetimelabs.com and Java Goes Native.)


But the problem is that there is no easy *cross platform* way to allow
the end users
of the application to adjust the JVM parameters. A way that would
preserve the single application/
single executable appearance of the applications (Dock / Task Manager
and  process view wise).

I know this has been discussed before, but is there a solution?
