JarBundler

JarBundler is a feature-rich Ant task which will create a macOS application bundle from a list of Jar files and a main class name.

You can add an icon resource, set various macOS native look-and-feel bells and whistles, and maintain your application bundles as part of your normal build and release cycle.
