hg: macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk: Initial cut of a the .jre/.jdk loading JavaAppLauncher template.

[Mark Derricutt]

In the past I've made use of the osxappbundle maven plugin, which generates an OSX .app application (and a .dmg from memory) for a java application directly from your maven project.

Having this updated, or something new created to support the new .app bundle format would be highly useful.

I've done a few mojo's in the past so might pull down the source and take a look at what might need to be updated - I was just looking at it earlier as I was about to add it to a project :)

How would you like make/use/invoke/build this stuff into/around your own apps? Should we build an .app shell as part of the jdk build output? Is the project file on it's own sufficient? Should there be a build.xml in the .jdk bundle that your IDE should invoke with the Info.plist details passed as parameters? Let us know what works best for you!
