X11 forwarding on a Mac
Submitted by on Friday, 21 January, 2011 - 17:47
I sometimes want to run jEdit on Mac A but display it on PC B. Other X11 applications simply can be forwarded through an ssh-tunnel but when I login into A from B with X11 forwarding enabled and run
% /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit
or
% java -jar /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jedit.jar
the application is opened on A rather than B. Other X11 applications work as expected. I also have a linux machine C with jEdit. There is no problem at all running jEdit on this machine and display it on either A or B.
Is this a problem with jEdit or java? Or possibly Apple's X11 server?
