Convert Java application to Mac OS X app


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.
