If double-clicking projectlibre.jar worked every time I'd just leave it as it is, but every time my users try to run PL that way it hasn't worked.

As far as I can tell the only way to install it is to open the package and copy all of its contents into the Applications folder manually. When I open projectlibre-1.5.5.dmg it has the installation package for ProjectLibre and a shortcut to the Applications folder but it doesn't install itself either when I double-click the package or drag it to the shortcut, which is how every other program I've ever installed on OS X works. I don't get any error messages or anything at all when I double-click ProjectLibre inside of Applications.
Java for mac 10.5 8 how to#
The problem isn't with running the program once I figured out how to get it to run, it's with the fact that it doesn't run or install the way OS X programs usually do. I mentioned in my original post that the iMac has Java 7 Update 21 and Java 6 (not sure what Update) installed with both enabled. So has anyone gotten 1.5.5 to install and run properly on OS X 10.5? And since there is no other documentation that describes installing PL on OS X, I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I've made it slightly easier for my user by copying the package contents into a new ProjectLibre folder inside of Applications, but it seems like this is not the intended way to run it. The only way I've been able to get it to work at all was to Control+click PL, click Show Package Contents, expand Contents, expand Resources, expand Java, expand lib, and double-click projectlibre.jar. When I double-click PL inside of Applications nothing still happens. Double-clicking the PL icon does nothing (after verifying to Safari that I want to run it), so I dragged it to the Applications shortcut but all that happened was the ~11.8MB PL file was copied to the Applications folder. When I open projectlibre-1.5.5.dmg the launcher gives me a ProjectLibre icon and a blank Applications shortcut. It already Java 5.5 and 6 installed but I went ahead and updated it to 7.21 for security reasons and disabled 5.5. So far it has been a hit with Windows our users, but I'm having trouble getting it going for one of our Mac users.Īccording to the notes at the bottom of this page, projectlibre-1.5.5.dmg should work fine on an iMac with OS X 10.5.8 and Java 7 Update 21 installed. I work at a company that is just beginning to use ProjectLibre as a replacement for MS Project.
