Build Identifier: I20101019-0800 I custom eclipse rcp application to my app. I code a my launcher(carbon code) to call eclipse launcher(eclipse execute file). In my c launcher code: main(){ //(1) show menu IBNibRef menuNibRef = NULL; printf("Show menu before....... \n"); if ( CreateNibReference(CFSTR("main"),&menuNibRef) == noErr) /* Make dock icon refresh */ { SetMenuBarFromNib(menuNibRef,menubar); printf("Show menu after....... \n"); } // (2) find out process name ProcessSerialNumber psn; CFStringRef name = NULL; char *nameCStr = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * 512); if (GetCurrentProcess(&psn) == noErr) { CopyProcessName(&psn,&name); CFStringGetCString(name, nameCStr, 512, kCFStringEncodingUTF8); printf("Run CopyProcessName() function.......\n "); printf("From A application, Process name is: %s \n" , nameCStr); } // (3) launcher eclipse char** cargs = (char**) malloc((2) * sizeof (char*)); cargs[0]="/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse"; cargs[1]=NULL; execv("/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse", cargs); printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; } Problem: Eclipse steal focus twice. (A) splash steal focus once. I fixed it by creating Info.plist and adding "APPL". (B) workbench steal focus once, if my launcher including (1) or (2) code. If code only include: cargs[0]="/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse"; cargs[1]=NULL; execv("/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse", cargs); workbench will do not steal focus. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create RCP application, and export it to product. 2. Modify eclipse path layout. Copy eclispe product folder to /Applications. Into /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS, create a folder named "aaa", move eclipes and eclipse.ini into this folder. For fix first problem, also need to copy Info.plist into this folder. For launcher eclipse, need to change eclipse.ini file to find out plugin. 3. Install my launcher. download my launcher and copy it into /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS, modify /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist contents "Executable file = alftestrcprun1" 4. Run eclispe by click Eclipse.app. 5. Quickly open a "Finder", and waiting eclispe open. eclispe will show top.

Don't steal focus code: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <Carbon/Carbon.h> #define MAXPATH 1024 static const CFStringRef menubar = CFSTR("MenuBar"); /* globmenu.h MENU_TOPLEVEL */ int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { char** cargs = (char**) malloc((2) * sizeof (char*)); cargs[0]="/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse"; cargs[1]=NULL; execv("/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/aaa/eclipse", cargs); printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; }
By the way, I found out : when workbench steal focus, just look like steal focus. I mean that you can click mac menu bar and find it changed. Please look attachment.

Good detective work on this one... For the first problem, CreateNibReference needs to use the bundle manager to locate the nib file. If it can't find an Info.plist, it will synthesize one, and in the process of doing that, it registers with the process manager to get the name of the application. Supplying a correct Info.plist file prevents the bundle manager from having to infer the information that's normally in the Info.plist. In the second case, calling GetCurrentProcess forces the application to register with the process manager, if it isn't already. Doing that turns the application into a foreground application, and it gets activated (stealing focus, as you have described.) While this is all useful to know, is this code a modification of the existing launcher code? This isn't SWT code.
(In reply to comment #6) > While this is all useful to know, is this code a modification of the existing > launcher code? This isn't SWT code. In our RCP application, we write a new program that call eclipse launcher to launcher eclipse. Like this : my launcher --> eclispe launcher --> JVM I find out another problem. If you launch my RCP by UI(I mean click app in Finder),the eclispe workbench will steal focus. But you launch my RCP by shell(e.g. run /Application/eclispe/Eclipse.app/Contetents/MacOS/alftestrcprun1 in shell),it does not. So strange problem.
This bug only reproduce in carbon. Cocoa work well.
Closing report, platform is discontinued.
