That is not possible on Mac due to the need to have the -XstartOnFirstThread
option set which must be done by the command line: java -jar
-XstartOnFirstThread *.jar if we could figure out a way to have the
XstartOnFirstThread start witout that then the JAR file would work fine.
We would still however have other issues, such as distribution, opening BRF
files into it and so on.

On Windows and the Linux distros I have tried so far, all of them can just

For the Apple MacOS app store we will need to generate a signed bundle at
some point. Launch4j may well build a Window executable but does not solve
the issues of MacOS application bundles however.

It is worth noting that gradle could be used instead of ant, gradle can use
any ant task and so could be used to generate the app bundle.
An alternative, less Apple Mac way of doing this, is to use something like
launch4j which produces a shell script which searches for a suitable JRE and
launches the jar application with the appropriate arguments. This though
means a directory of files and launching a shell script.
Eclipse RCP applications are similar, except I think the launcher is an app
bundle, but it relies on other files external to the app bundle as well.
Windows is less of a problem as there is less of a standard of bundling
applications in a specific way, a directory of files with an executable is
more acceptable. I don't know how appstore apps on windows are structured.

Upon doing more research I have found that the stand alone MacOS
application will need to be built using ant and a file called build.xml so
it would be helpful if such a file that works to build the MacOS
application bundle be included.
Here is a link to the pages that expalin this.

The big issue that I see is how to get the XstartOnFirstThread working as
well.
