First of all I'm new here, so excuse me if I've posted in the wrong place. I'm using Netbeans for C++ development and would like to execute my app after compilation with "open" and not within a terminal. At the moment I've problems with my X11, so I'm not able to run it in Netbeans. Netbeans should be able to be configured. I'm working on an Intel Mac with Mac OS X Tiger with Java 5.
This is a feature request, not a defect. Its actually quite difficult to get the command line right for starting a remote terminal (like xterm or gnome-terminal). I've looked at using the Terminal app on a Mac and haven't found any command line API for this application. The problem with the Mac, is that it assumes its apps are run from the desktop and doesn't appear to have made command line options for them.
To run the application you can use either this command line: "open application.app" or this one "application.app/Contents/MacOS/application". The ending .app is no file type. It's a folder but Mac OS X handles it as a file type, that's why you can just click on it in Finder.
