Hi Tobi,

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

This is good to know. I'll add support for this.

> 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"

As I've mentioned, relying on the working directory is not a good practice. What are you currently using the working directory for? Maybe there is a better (more reliable) way to accomplish it.

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

Seems reasonable. Can you provide a little more detail on how you think this might work?

Greg
