About
Maven plugin that creates an Application Bundle for OS X containing all your project dependencies and the necessary metadata.
As you may know, Apple has dropped Java development from OS X excluding security patches. mojo's osxappbundle-maven-plugin depends on Apple's Java launcher, so it does not support Java version 7 and future.
Oracle's Java Application Bundler supports other Java runtime (including Java 7, 8 and more), but it does not support maven.
I merged both and fix to work as a maven plugin that supports latest Mac OS X.
How to build
To build native application launcher, run
sh build.sh
and install
mvn install
