Hello there,
We have a java appliaction on Mac OS X. This application downloads a
..ico file from server (which is icon on windows). Now we want to
convert it into .icns file on OS X as we want to display this .icns
file in our application. Does any one know how to convert .ico file to
..icns in java.
Thanks in advance...

I have a lint in the FAQ which points to Marco Schmidt's collection of
image processing and conversion classes and libraries for Java. Maybe
there is something in for you.

If that doesn't work, I'll bet you can find something via a Google search,
either a Web search or a Newsgroup search. If you do a newsgroup search,
focus on the Mac newsgroups. Someone must have done this kind of conversion
before, assuming its possible.

You may also find conversion utilities at shareware sites like Tucows.
