appbundler

A fork of the Java Application Bundler with the following changes:

• The native binary is created as universal (32/64)
• Fixes icon not showing bug in JavaAppLauncher
• Adds LC_CTYPE environment variable to the Info.plist file in order to fix an issue with File.exists() in OpenJDK 7 (Contributed by Steve Hannah)
• Allows to specify the name of the executable instead of using the default "JavaAppLauncher" (contributed by Karl von Randow)
• Adds classpathref support to the bundleapp task
• Adds support for JVMArchs and LSArchitecturePriority keys
• Allows to specify a custom value for CFBundleVersion
• Allows specifying registered file extensions using CFBundleDocumentTypes
• Passes to the Java application a set of environment variables with the paths of the OSX special folders and whether the application is running in the sandbox (see below).
• Allows overriding of passed JVM options by the bundled app itself via java.util.Preferences (contributed by Hendrik Schreiber)
• Allows running the Application as privileged - e.g. for Setup (Contributed by Gerry Weißbach)
• Allows specifying a JNLP file (jnlplaunchername) as alternative to the mainclassname which can then be launched without hassle when the Application is signed. See How to sign (dynamic) JNLP files for OSX 10.8.4 and Gatekeeper (Contributed by Gerry Weißbach)

These are the environment variables passed to the JVM:

• LibraryDirectory
• DocumentsDirectory
• CachesDirectory
• ApplicationSupportDirectory
• SandboxEnabled (the String true or false)

Example:

<target name="bundle">
  <taskdef name="bundleapp" 
    classpath="appbundler-1.0ea.jar"
    classname="com.oracle.appbundler.AppBundlerTask"/>

  <bundleapp 
      classpathref="runclasspathref"
      outputdirectory="${dist}"
      name="${bundle.name}"

      <!-- Workaround since the icon parameter for bundleapp doesn't work -->
