How many times has this happened to you? You've written a little Java utility, or maybe even a more complex application, and you want to create Mac OS X application bundle for easy distribution. You'd like to be able to do it automatically from your build process, but you're forced to go run the Apple Jar Bundler and tweak all the settings manually every time you build.

Well no more! JarBundler is a feature-rich ant task which will create a Mac OS X application bundle from a list of Jar files and a main class name. You can add an Icon resource, set various Mac OS X native look-and-feel bells and whistles, and maintain your application bundles as part of your normal build and release cycle.

What's New:
Fix bug when using localized Help Books, the menu application would appears as (null)
Corrected the encoding for the Info.plist XML file so that the copyright character, amongst others, are processed correctly. Thanks to Christian Roth for both pointing out the encoding problem and providing a one line solution!

Requirements:
Developer tools must have been installed or ANT installed manually.
