might be worth a look. I remembered something was supposed to have incorporated the AppBundler project. Making it sort of on-going supported AppBundler. But didn’t remember what it was.
Anyone with more actual experience using javapackager to deploy (anywhere) might have some experiences for those unfamiliar.

Had one thing strange already going on today. Not really deployment related but a bit of an experience.
Just to get back on a working basis with the application I decided to make one small change I had been thinking about recently.
I changed it, Eclipse, then exported the jar. I then manually Finder paste the jar into the application bundle for testing.
No sign of the change having been made.
Finder info showed the correct matching dates for the jar. 
Terminal ‘ls' commands did not. I finally used Terminal to mv the jar in and it then worked fine.
Ran Disk Utility verify in case my hard drive was messed up somehow. Showed it was fine. 
So I don’t know why Finder and Terminal weren’t in sync with Finder apparently incorrectly showing the state of things.
Strange. 

But definitely if anyone has any advice or any kind of tips on using javapackager or any other current method of OS X or cross-platform application deployment I would be interested in hearing about it.
