Protege OS X app bundle can't use JDK 1.7 or later about protege

The codegeneration plugin doesn't force 1.6 compatible compiler output. That shouldn't be regarded as a bug :-)
Deleting that plugin from the .app lets things launch. That shouldn't be regarded as a fix :-)

Edited issue title slightly. The app bundle generated by the current Maven build can't use JDK 1.7+ and needs to be fixed. Wanted to clarify though, that end users can run the 4.3 released version of Protege on a Mac with Java 7 if they download the ZIP distribution, available from the main Protege website: http://protege.stanford.edu/download/protege/4.3/zip/protege-4.3.0-304.zip.

Further note: the 4.3 stub is generated by InstallAnywhere. I don't know if the Stub and Info.plist can be legally "borrowed"?

Since there's already a convenient antrun instance, using an ant task isn't quite as aesthetically unpleasing.

I also remember coming across a Maven plug-in for building app bundles: http://mojo.codehaus.org/osxappbundle-maven-plugin/index.html. Haven't looked at it yet, but wanted to note it here.

That one uses the java application stub, so its 1.6 or less :(

Using only those binary distribution, mac app bundle can be created. The 5507fdb commit shows how. It's simple, however maven build files that I changed need some minor fixes.
Check protege-distribution/src/main/config/distributions/felix/build-app-bundle.sh. It generates corresponding Protege.app bundle from the binary distribution.

Thanks, we'll take a look at this.

I had a look at the (different) solution using maven with an ant task and it's fairly straight forward (well, at least with a toy example). The antrunbundle lib needs adding to maven central though.
