JIRA] Commented: (MACOSX_PORT-105) Create a .jre bundle, suitable for embedding in a .app

[Michael Hall]

I notice Scott Kovatch commented on this one. 
I'm not sure about the appropriateness of debating it through JIRA comments or even off-list e-mails so bringing it up here instead. 
I have asked about it on list a couple times I think.
One question I think I had was what version of XCode is required? When I tried starting the JavaAppLauncher project with XCode it ended up with the events locked spinning wheel cursor. I have to assume I'm either software and/or hardware versions behind what I need. I could see the project contents but couldn't figure out how you would manage the embedding with a command line build.
From the JIRA comment is including a jre required? Every application will do this? I think I've also asked if a JavaApplicationStub like executable couldn't be provided? Which would launch the default installed, I guess in this case openjdk, jre.
Mike Swingler did tell me before that the ApplicationDelegate handled AppleEvent related stuff like file associations. I have noticed that is provided separately from the JavaAppLauncher XCode project. Any chance for a brief description of how that works?

Thanks
