is it possible to manually edit the startup script? about gradle-macappbundle

[crotwell]

On the Mac, all the stuff that would be in a startup script is put into a "Info.plist" file and the dependency jar files end up in MyApp.app/Contents/Java/. So you could modify the Info.plist and the Contents/Java directory to accommodate new versions. There may be security issues with writing to those directories depending on how the application was installed.

Good luck.

This time I think I know what is going on.
On windows I have something like:
/App/Ressources1/
/App/Ressources2/
/App/app.jar

I am using from my application files in Ressources1 and Ressources2 folder.
Also I have some update mechanism that update files in those folders.

Once I bundle my app using macappbundle, my ressources folder got embedded into app.jar.
Hence when I do thing like class.getressources, I end up with
" jar:file:/pathto/XXX.app/Contents/Java/XX.jar!/sprache" when I was expecting " /pathto/XXX.app/Contents/Java/sprache"

This breaks lot of my code. Is it possible to have the ressources not part of the jar itself but as separate ressource folder?

thank you

Sorry, no idea how to do that. When I have used resources in the past, I have always embedded them in a jar file.

Actually,
I found a workaround for that problem, but ideally I would still like to choose the working directory.
On mac os X my app is creating some files in the user directory, it would be more appropriate to use the Application Folder.
I could fix it by chaning a lot of relative path to absolute but I dont feel doing it this way so I am still investigating if it is possible to set working directory at global level.
Any help would be very appreciated !!
