ICNS files not copied correctly to app folder

[bowring]

The icns file that is copied to the Resources folder of the app contents is somehow broken in the process and is not an icon file: it is larger and not recognized by Preview or Icon Composer, for example. I have tested this by using known icns files such as netbeans.icns in addition to the icon for my app. I think it is related to how the resource stream is read from the class loader. I can replace the icns file in the Resources folder after the app is built and it works fine. One of my students has made a robust resource extractor that works in jars and wars in addition to normal directory structures: https://github.com/CIRDLES/Commons/blob/master/src/main/java/org/cirdles/commons/util/ResourceExtractor.java

I will experiment with this, but wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.

That is strange behavior. It just copies icon files using org.codehaus.plexus.util.FileUtils/copyFileToDirectory.

If possible, please show me a project that have the problem.

Thanks.

Same issue, had to do this:

<configuration>
  <iconFile>src/main/resources/osx/icon-mage.icns</iconFile>
</configuration>
