Issue
Is there a way to convert a Java application into a Mac OS X executable app?
I use NetBeans to develop in Java, and I'd like to "pack" the "dist" folder into an app (just for convenience)
Solution
Use the Apple Java Extensions and its Guide
The Apple Java Extensions contains a very complete development guide with information on the deployment of Java applications on Mac OS X and the production of application bundles. It also introduces other aspects of the Apple Java Extensions, like the support for integration with the standard Mac OS X UI.
