Okay so I know how to hide a .app from the doc but I wanna know how to hide a java program such as rsbuddy.jar. Which is RS botting but I want it undetected so its not disturbed. So I was wondering if I could get some help!

Thank you for your time,
Jameson

there is an application called dock dodger which edits apps so that they run without a dock icon. not sure if it will work for java, but its great for stuff that runs in the menubar.

I imagine that it can't. Dockless/Dock Dodger is just a fancy GUI for quickly adding this line to a info.plist inside the application bundle. And Java applications do not have this file.

Code:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
    <true/>
It really depends though, give it a try with Dockless/Dock Dodger. Some java applications have a .app wrapper and it might work with them. Edit: rsbuddy ends in .jar so it wouldn't work :(
