JavaApplicationStub in skeleton is PowerPC only ?
Dec 14th, 2006, 8:04pm  
Processing for OS X is Universal Binary, but why JavaApplicationStub in skeleton is only compiled for PowerPC ?

Are Sketches getting serious performance hit when runned as OS X application on Intel Mac ?

Rosetta is not the best thing to use for such cpu intensive apps.

This is what Console is showing when i run an application exported Processing project.

[JavaAppLauncher] application launched with ppc-thin application stub. Using native application stub instead.


In the activity monitor there isn't any PowerPC app.

But when i "command+i" an app (exported with P5) it says "Kind: Application (PowerPC).

i'm a little confused.

[Edit]
i've found an universal version in my system here :

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS/JavaAppli
cationStub

Do i need to replace the one inside processing/lib/export/skeleton.app/Contents/MacOS/ ?

the stub just needs to be updated in the export skeleton.. i'm not sure why that didn't happen when i made the update to make p5 itself universal.. except that this will also lock out anyone not using 10.3.9+ from using an app created by processing.

but no, this shouldn't cause any sort of performance hit, since JavaAppLauncher is catching it anyway.

to my knowledge, only x86 java is installed on intel macs--so there's no way to actually run java in rosetta. but i could be wrong on that part.

After spying on the filesystem activities, i've found that the ppc-stub in fact wasn't loaded.

The console report, now, does make sense. Wink
