   Hi @akhilmanikandan!
   Maybe is open /path/to/My.app what you are looking for?

   my java app is a console application, i realise now to open in console mode i have to put the path My.app/Content/MacOs/Universalapplicationstub

   I was expecting like in windows when you double click it opens up in a terminal by default.

   any way to change that behavior

   Not sure, maybe we can include a terminal mode for macOS, so when double clicking your app, universalJavaApplicationStub startuo script opens a terminal and runs your app inside

   Merging #404 into this one, as both are about console apps on macOS:

   • This issue: double-clicking the app should open it in a Terminal window, like a console EXE on Windows.
   • How to make a clean terminal app for MacOS? #404: package a command-line tool without an .app, installed somewhere in PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin), like the DEB on GNU/Linux.

   Workaround for now: run the launcher from a terminal (My.app/Contents/MacOS/universalJavaApplicationStub) or use open -a Terminal My.app/Contents/MacOS/universalJavaApplicationStub. The GNU/Linux equivalent is #345.
