I found a useful java app that I'd like to package into a double clickable bundle, primarily so that I can edit the MRJApp.properties to get it to behave more like a Mac app (menus not in the window, etc.)
But, I don't know very much about Java and can't get MRJAppBuilder to work. My resulting bundle just quits immediately on launch.
Let's walk through it, somebody please point out where I'm going wrong:
1) grab this nice tile editor app:

2) Run MRJAppBuilder.
3) Choose the tm.jar archive for the main classname. It prompts you for the class containing main(), "TileMolester" is the only option. The classpath is automatically populated and the jar is merged.
4a) In the Merge Files tab, add the three standalone xml files.
4b) Also add the three resource folders.
5) Type in an output bundle name in the first tab and click "Build Application".
Result: build fails. Ok, it is having trouble merging the folders. Try this all over again, skipping step 4b and hope that manually copying the folders inside the built bundle will work.
Result: build succeeds, but it quits immediately after launch. If you double click the jar inside the bundle, it launches properly and complains that it can't find the English resources. Adding the folders doesn't make any difference.
Ok, maybe there's some java property wrong? A missing classpath? (there is only one jar, though...) Basically it looks like the JavaApplicationStub just can't find the tm.jar to launch. No messages in Console, either.
What's wrong?
