Hi, Is it possible to have two executables each with its own plist to share the same bundle. Then depends on the way app is executed (parameters) to load the appropriate executable. Imagine the case where we have a main application (executable with UI) and the mini application (shorter version of the main app also with its own UI) and ...
I'm a developer making the transition from Linux/Emacs to OSX/Xcode. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for smoothing this transition with regard to text editing?

Please help me out on this. Thanks. If the que...
First I wanted to build the DBD::mysql package. That kept failing because whatever make resulted in could not be loaded for the tests with a Symbol not found: _is_prefix. So I assumed that cpan might be a tad old. I know it's a random assumption, but cpan did tell me to install the latest Bundle::CPAN. Who's successfully installed eithe...

I installed Emacs 23 on OS X (the NS/Cocoa variant) and I got the following error when I tried to run ssh from a shell inside emacs. "pseudo terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal". Searching around the web tells me that it is because stdin is somehow a pipe instead of a real tty. I confirmed that by running st...
I want to use the NSStatusBar object from my Java application using JNI. I know there's some existing libraries out there but I've tried them and they don't have the correct drop down menu. I'm starting from the "Java JNI Application" template in XCode and I simply put NSString *str=@""; to see if it could compile but this produces ...

NetBeans supports emacs-style keybindings, but for some reason it uses cmd as the "meta" key instead of alt, which seems to be the standard on OS X. (Terminal.app has a checkbox for "use option as meta key", for example.) How can I switch to using alt/option as the "meta" key for emacs-style keybindings? ...
When symbolicating crash reports, I noticed that line numbers are off. I tested this with a project in which I deliberately cause a crash.

Is there an easy way to get fro...

Or is there another way to ...
