OK here is the ant build.xml file that will take the MacOS JAR file and build a
proper bundle you will also need the appbundler-1.0.jar from oracle as well.
The ant command is: ant bundle-BrailleZephyr
Make a dist directory place the BrailleZephyr-macosx-x86_64-0.1.jar in it.
place the appbundler-1.0.jar in the directory that has the dist directory in it.
place the build.xml file in this directory as well
run ant bundle-BrailleZephyr and you should get the bundled MacOS application
in the dist directory.
It would be handy to have this all done in gradlew as an option like building
the JAR files are.

OK, one last thing you could try as I noticed something.
Those Apple developer links were for the Apple Java launcher that Apple's
tools include in bundles they produce where as you are using that Oracle
appbundler task. I studied the source code for the Oracle appbundler to see
what structure its info.plist should be and i have now generated you a
info.plist which should work. Could you try it for me, if it does not work I
will just try creating an appbundle myself.

Well I could take a look for you at some point. May be Friday before I can
do anything.
As i am familiar with gradle I would probably add it into the gradle
script so you could generate it from there.
