Starting up Vassal on Mac

I have an associate who has the following problem on a Mac:

VASSAL.sh appears to be opening as a textfile when he double clicks on it.

Thanks,
Brent.

Either:

  • download my Mac .app bundle from software.pelican.org/vassal/
  • Wait for 3.1 and Joel’s auto-building Mac bundles
  • Rename VASSAL.sh to VASSAL.command

OS X is slightly schizophrenic in this respect - while in the shell,
everything works like you’d expect UNIX to; while in the GUI, it neither
follows shebang covnentions in scripts, nor associates .sh files with
Terminal.

Cheers,
Tim,

Macs have a problem with the jar-updating part of Web Start. He can fix this by clearing the temporary files in the Web Start preferences.
