OpenJUMP
Installing: Mac OSX

Starting OpenJUMP on MacOSX

How it should work:

• open a terminal window
• move to the “bin” folder (using “ls” and “cd” commands in the terminal)
• if you arrived in the bin folder, openjump can be started by typing: “sh openjump.sh” and pressing enter

but eventually…

I’ve played around with JUMP previously, and I just downloaded and made OpenJUMP work on my Mac, running OS X 10.4.6. Initially, I ran into some problems, but it seems they were mainly due to Carriage Return/Line Feed problems with the shell script.

That’s why Karel posted: Usual suspect is carriage return, and an easy way to fix it is:

• a) join all lines of script into one line,
• b) split into lines again and save script.

After I got it running from the shell script, I wanted to tackle making it run from the old application package from JUMP 1.1.2 (or whatever).

Here are the steps I took to make it run.

1. View contents of the JUMP application by right clicking the application icon and choosing “Show Package Contents”
2. Navigate to “Contents/Resources/JUMP/lib” and copy all the contents of the OpenJUMP lib directory, including the sub-folders
3. Navigate back to “Contents/Resources” and edit the “script” file with your favorite text editor
4. Search for the following line: LIB=$JUMPHOME/lib and add the following two lines after it: BATIK_DIR=$JUMPHOME/lib/batik LOOKS_DIR=$JUMPHOME/lib/looks-1.3.1
5. Search for the following line:
   for jarfile in $LIB/.jar $JUMP_PLUGIN_DIR/.jar
   and append it to match:
   for jarfile in $LIB/.jar $JUMP_PLUGIN_DIR/.jar $BATIK_DIR/*jar $LOOKS_DIR
6. Save the file
7. Double-click the JUMP app and watch it start!

hope this is helpful to someone!

cheers,
