Contributing to AppBundler - Merging from JarBundler

[Tobias Bley]

Hi,

I customized AppBundler so that I'm able to submit my Java app to the AppStore. Things that are currently missing in AppBundler (IMO) are:

1. field "LSApplicationCategoryType" => It's necessary for the AppStore.

2. option to specify working directory => AppBundler ant task should provide a further attribute like "workingDir" where the user can specify the working directory relative to the app bundle, e.g. workingDir="$APP_BUNDLE/Contents/Java"

3. further nested elements to specify helpbook folder and document types for associating file types to the app

I'm a contributor of the JarBundler project which is similar to AppBundler projects but provides many more options like the 3 missing points on top. So if you like I extend the AppBundler project as a contributor.

Please take a look at JarBundler:

a) http://informagen.com/JarBundler/index.html
b) http://informagen.com/JarBundler/DocumentType.html

Furthermore I wrote several ant tasks to sign and archive java apps for the AppStore.

Best regards,
Tobi
