Created attachment 151608 [details] Patch to package OS X app using app.title By default NetBeans sets the ant build property app.name to branding.token but puts the "human readable" application name in app.title. This causes the following: - App name on disk does not match app title in main window. - App name in OS X menu bar does not match app title in main window. The attached patch uses the app.title instead of the app.name to create the OS X application bundle. It introduces the following default behavior on OS X: - App name on disk matches app title in main window (excluding version) - App name in OS X menu bar matches app title in main window (excluding version) As a side effect the following changes also occur in the build: - A new OS X-specific launch script replaces the symlink to the standard launch script for UNIX/Linux/OS X in the OS X application bundle. This script figures out the application title from the bundle name before calling the default UNIX/Linux/OS X launch script - A simple zipped distribution of the OS X application bundle is created (this had been commented out due to issues with the symlink) Can you please consider including this patch for inclusion in the Module Build Harness?
