Correct way to launch on Mac OS X, EAQ needs updated?

[melalton]

I couldn't launch on a Mac using the method stated in the EAQ:

 

java -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

 

I would get a "NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraft/LauncherFrame" error.  So I poked around found where the LauncherFrame.class is, and this method works instead:

 

java -cp {PATH-TO-YOUR-MINECRAFT-APP}/Minecraft.app/Contents/Resources/Java/MinecraftLauncher.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

 

Should the EAQ be updated? Or am I doing it wrong?

 

I'm using OS X 10.8.2

You're doing it wrong. As you're probably adding the real minecraft.jar and not the minecraft.jar that is the launcher {IE: the one that you download manually from minecraft.net}

They REALLY need to change that name to minecraft_launcher.jar but whatever.

 

Anyways as long as the 'minecraft.jar' it finds is the launcher the first will work.
