Hello!

How do I install the Okapi plugins in OmegaT.app/Contents/Resources/Java/plugins folder (Mac OSX)?
Just drag the files there?

I also copied installation instructions, but I just don't know how to do it..
It says -XstartOnFirstThread option should be specified - where do I find this?
Can somebody please, help me with this?

Download the ZIP file of the Macintosh distribution you need (See above).
Extract the ZIP file on any location. For example /Users/admin/Desktop/Okapi.
To run, for example, Rainbow:

The main directory of the distribution contains a Rainbow application bundle (Rainbow.app): simply double-click on it.
If you run the application for the first time since you downloaded it, you may be prompted to confirm you want to run it.
You can modify the shell file rainbow.sh that is in the /Contents/MacOS folder of the application bundle to fit your own parameters. In all cases you MUST specify the -XstartOnFirstThread option or the application may not work properly. You can make sure to run the Java VM in a specific mode using the -d32 and -d64 flags.


Thank you!! ▲ Collapse

Yes.


Download the ZIP file of the Macintosh distribution you need (See above).
Extract the ZIP file on any location. For example /Users/admin/Desktop/Okapi.
To run, for example, Rainbow:

Do not confuse Okapi applications with the Okapi OmegaT plugin.

To use the plugin, you only need to download the plugin itself:
http://code.google.com/p/okapi/downloads/list
The file is named okapi-pluginForOmegaT_all-platforms_0.16.zip.

Just unzip the content into the plugins folder.

Since OmegaT version 2.5.2, there is also a second location for the plugins folder, in [home]/plugins, [home] begin defined as [User Home]/Library/Preferences/OmegaT on Macs.

The advantage is that, since this folder is not within OmegaT.app, you don't have to update it each time you install a new version.
