Is there a way to play a system beep on mac os x?

Hey,

Is there a way to play a system beep on mac os x in Java? I usually use the beep function in Toolkit class for my PC but I tried the beep function in Toolkit but it doesn't work on my mac. Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of using Toolkit class , try using ascii code..

System.out.println("\007");


Inform me whether it works or not......

I think it should work.
Did you tried it in C

printf("\a");


The other alternative is call the exe file from the java..
