Description Jan Horvath 2006-01-13 09:47:43 UTC 
.app suffix is necesery for netbeans launcher to work. There should'n be option for users to remove it.
We can hide .app suffix from textfield and add it after user clics on Next button.

We agreed on following solution: Installer will show suffix (.app) and will
require it on Mac ie. user will not be allowed to continue when NB installation
folder will not have suffix .app. Default installation folder has this suffix.
Comment 4 Vince Kraemer 2006-01-16 17:18:07 UTC 
that sounds like it will work. Will need message of some sort, too.
Comment 5 Jan Chalupa 2006-01-23 09:05:57 UTC 
Will be fixed for the next release (after 5.0).
Comment 6 dlipin 2007-08-07 10:04:01 UTC 
already mixed in new 6.0 installers.
