<p>JBidwatcher should work with Java 7, but the launcher (from
Apple's Java dev kit) probably specifies Java 6.</p>
<p>JBidwatcher merely specifies 1.5+ but I don't have much control
over the Apple-specific code, unfortunately.</p>
<p>I have been using an older Java Launcher from Apple, because
some users had trouble with a more recent one. I'll look into
updating that now that Mavericks is out.</p>

Appreciate your effort with JBidwatcher.</p></div>Jamestag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/301647222014-03-15T16:38:30Z2014-03-15T16:38:31ZJava 7 and Mavericks<div><p>On Mavericks, I get a dialog with the following when
double-clicking JBidWatcher.app from the Finder:</p>
<pre>
<code>“JBidwatcher.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.</code>
</pre>
<p>I am given the options <code>Cancel</code> and <code>Move to
Trash</code>. However, when I run
.../JBidwatcher.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub from the
command line, everything works fine.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>I have the latest Java from Oracle:</p>
<pre>
<code>% which java
/usr/bin/java
% java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)</code>
</pre>
<p>I am running a case-sensitive file system if that makes a
difference.</p></div>Matt Btag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/301647222014-03-15T16:51:24Z2014-03-15T16:51:27ZJava 7 and Mavericks<div><p>I found an explanation. From <a href=
"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290">http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Damaged" app. – The app has been altered by something
other than the developer. This message will appear no matter the
Gatekeeper option chosen.
<ul>
<li>"App name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it
to the Trash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I got the same error whether I double-clicked the app or
control-clicked it and selected "Open". However, after I selected
"Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere" in the Gatekeeper
Preferences Panel, I was able to open JBidWatcher from the Finder
just fine (with an initial confirmation dialog). Once it was opened
once, I was able to open it again without error or confirmation
after resetting the Gatekeeper options to something more
restrictive.</p></div>Matt Btag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/301647222014-03-22T22:47:33Z2014-03-22T22:47:33ZJava 7 and Mavericks<div><p>Greetings,<br>
I'm so sorry. There's something wrong with my signing key that I
paid<br>
Apple for. I signed the application, but Apple is seeing it as a
bad<br>
signature, or something like that.</p>
<p>There's a few ways around it. The easiest should be to right
click, select<br>
Open from the right-click menu. It will then ask if you're sure, I
think.<br>
If that doesn't work, or you want a more certain approach, you have
to go into System Settings. Find the Security & Privacy icon.
Under the<br>
'General' tab, set it to 'Allow apps downloaded from:' and select
'Anywhere'. Then run JBidwatcher once, and then go back and set it
to what you had it at. I wish Apple would use some message OTHER
than suggesting<br>
it's damaged, but I'm just a free software developer, I have no
impact on<br>
them with that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm really sorry, and since I have to renew my Mac
Developer<br>
license in a few days, I'll try and get some Apple support to get
my<br>
signing process correct next time.</p>
<p>Thanks Matt. B. for your directions, as well!</p>
<p>Best of luck with your auctions!</p>
