build AppBundler?

As Tobias wrote you have to manually add the -Xdock:icon option in the
build.xml since all the appbundler do at the moment is copying the
icon in the bundle, without adding the aforementioned option.

So if you chdir to the user home before launching the program you'll
pass the wrong icon path (ex. ../Resources/MyIcon.icns) to the
application.

Maybe an alternative solution that doesn't involve changing the path
to the bundle could be to parse the java options before launching the
app and if the -Xdock:icon is present adjust the path accordingly.
