Are you the only one who feels that macOS sucks? About 90% of those who use computers use Windows. I’m pretty sure a fair percentage of them think macOS sucks. But I could say the same thing about Windows. Well, not exactly. This means you will need a late 2015 iMac 27-inch or newer, 2016 MacBook Pro or newer, 2018 Mac Mini, 2019 Mac Pro, 2018 MacBook Air, or an early 2016 MacBook or newer model computer. I keep on having serious problems with OS X 10.1.2 installed on my PowerBook G3 (Pismo) 384MB Ram - 6GB HD. It starts with: when I have started up in OS 9.2.2 it shows the system folders in the Startup Disk control panel as being 10.1.2 and 9.2.2. However, when I startup in X it shows OS 9.

Familiarity breeds contempt, right? So it stands to reason that anyone who uses a product extensively can find fault with it. I’m no exception—my work requires me to use Mac OS X every day, all day long, and although I am generally thrilled with its capabilities and reliability, some things about it really drive me up the wall. Take a gander at my list of pet peeves; then share your own by posting to the Macintosh Weblog.

1. Dock Items Bounce Indefinitely

Items bounce up and down in the Dock to alert you to situations that supposedly require your attention. My gripe is that the 'problem' is usually not urgent. The icon bounces indefinitely, like a needy child demanding your attention, endlessly screaming, 'Look at me, Mom, look at me!' This is so annoying and unnecessary it makes me want to scream back, 'Listen up ya little punk. I hear ya, but I just don’t care, so shut yer trap!'

Here’s the deal. First of all, there’s nothing that can go wrong in software that requires the immediate intervention of a human, so programs are never justified in distracting you from the task at hand. If a program has a problem and needs your attention, it’s OK for its icon to bounce a few times to visually draw your attention to it. Furthermore, it’s fine for it to beep or use some other innocuous sound effect to audibly alert you to something out of the ordinary. But if you haven’t responded after that, you either chose to ignore the situation or are not around. It would suffice to have some other static visual change (interpretation: subtle and nonannoying) to the application’s icon in the Dock, indicating that it wants your attention when you get around to it.

We’ve started a new project on Java.net to support creating bundled applications from your Java JARs and other resources. Find it here on java.net. It’s pretty small right now, as we are starting with Mac OS X, but we plan to expand to other platforms as well, and support JavaFx’s packaging and launching tools too.

Why isn’t this part of OpenJDK? Well, mainly because this project isn’t really tied to a specific JDK version. We will establish Java 7 as the base supported version, but expect it to work with little or no modification on Java 8 and 9.

There is some code for Mac OS X launchers in OpenJDK, but we will be moving that code to this project and removing it from the tree.
