Installing on Mac OSX
Openjump 1.4
Open OpenJUMP/BIN folder and click on the orange Kangaroo icon to launch Openjump, that icon is connected to .APP Mac application launcher
If you want to launch OpenJUMPby terminal, use oj_linux.sh or oj_macosx.command launch scrips
Openjump 1.2/1.3
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...

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.
Further Nic wrote: 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.
- View contents of the JUMP application by right clicking the application icon and choosing Show Package Contents
- Navigate to Contents/Resources/JUMP/lib and copy all the contents of the OpenJUMP lib directory, including the sub-folders
- Navigate back to Contents/Resources and edit the script file with your favorite text editor
- 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
- 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
- Save the file
- Double-click the JUMP app and watch it start!
hope this is helpful to someone!
cheers, -n
