Primary LanguageJava

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)
  • Allow setting custom Info.plist properties (e.g. SUFeedURL for Sparkle) (contributed by Morgan Schweers)
  • Provide an option to make the application able to open arbitrary HTTP endpoints.
  • Format the Info.plist XML file nicely.
  • Add JNI files to the class path.
  • Allow the {bundle}/Java directory to be added as a class path entry.

These are the environment variables passed to the JVM:

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