SDK and JRE bundles

[Tobias Bley (UltraMixer)]

HI Mike,

It's the first time I see your new JavaAppLauncher... We created an own launcher, so it's no derivate. Our launcher does not parse the info.plist file. It simply launches a bundle JRE with the given parameters from the ANT task.

Best regards,
Tobi

The Mac OS X JVM detection system sniffs the primary executable of the bundle for architectures so it knows which modes the particular JVM bundle supports. Since the symlink was broken, there were no architectures to sniff, ergo, not really a JVM there.
