About This Document

MRJToolkit is a set of Java-based classes that you use to access some Mac OS functionality from a Java application. For example, if your Java application allows you to save files, you can use MRJToolkit methods to assign a file type and creator to such a file saved on the Mac OS platform.

You should use MRJToolkit if you are interested in doing any of the following:

• Packaging a Java application using JBindery
• Creating or opening files from the Mac OS Finder for your Java application
• having your application launch or activate when files are dropped onto its desktop icon
• Setting keyboard equivalents for menu items in your Java application
