FidoCadJ does not start on Java 9 running on MacOS. This is due to an old code using a deprecated class allowing for a better integration of the user interface in the Macintosh environment:

This is a high-priority issue for me.

Issue fixed on https://github.com/DarwinNE/FidoCadJ/releases/tag/v0.24.8alpha

Hi @gcantoni
thanks. I'll leave the issue open though, as AppleSpecific class must be rewritten to avoid obsolete classes.

Kind regards,
D.

I think the code in ADesktopIntegration completely supersedes the old AppleSpecific class that is now removed from the FidoCadJ source code.
The code is indubitably cleaner as we don't need to use reflection anymore to check if "AppleSpecific" is present. I hope it allows to have a better integration of FidoCadJ with the desktop environment with Linux and Windows.

On MacOS, I migrated from Quaqua l&f to Violetlib VAqua7, that seems to work relatively well. The configuration of the l&f is not complete at this moment, so I opened the issue #177 for this.

I close this issue, but don't hesitate to test the software on Linux and Windows and re-open it (or open more specific issues) if any problem appear.
