<AWT Dev> [7u6] Review request for 7159381: [macosx] Dock Icon defaults to Generic Java Application Category

[Scott Kovatch]

Your best bet is to start with the app bundler project on java.net.

http://java.net/projects/appbundler

It's an ant script that will take a JAR file and turn it into a bundled app.

Also, the latest builds of javafxpackager will now generate a bundled app, too.

If this property hasn't been set, we try to get the app name from the JAVA_MAIN_CLASS_<pid>  environment variable, which is used to pass  the name of a Java class whose main() method was invoked by the Java launcher code to start the application. If JAVA_MAIN_CLASS_<pid>  hasn't been set, then as the last resort we try to get the app name from the bundle.
