building application bundles for Mac OS X has been pretty straightforward using the Apple JDK 1.6. Since Apple is no longer in charge of the JDK development and Oracle took over, an incompatibility with the maven plugin "osxappbundle-maven-plugin" has occurred.
Building using JDK 1.6 is no problem, but on 1.7 the app-bundle cannot be launched any more on Mac OS X.
Temporarily, we have to live with this bug in the plugin and encourage Mac users to use the standard JAR-file, which will work in any case with your configured JRE on your system.
As soon as there will be an update of this issue, we will release the IQM application bundle for Mac OS X again.
Kind regards,
the IQM dev-team
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
the osxappbundle-maven-plugin has been removed and a direct custom ant task execution of the net.sourceforge.jarbundler (sourceforge.net) is performed, if the application is compiled using JDK 1.6. In order to generate Apple JVM conform application bundles, switch to JDK 1.6 and run a build.
