## About this plugin

As you may know, Apple has dropped Java development from OS X excluding security patches.

mojo's [osxappbundle-maven-plugin](http://mojo.codehaus.org/osxappbundle-maven-plugin/) depends on Apple's Java launcher, so it does not support Java version 7 and future.

Oracle's [Java Application Bundler](https://java.net/projects/appbundler) supports other Java runtime (including Java 7, 8 and more), but it does not support maven.

I merged both and fix to work as a maven plugin that supports latest Mac OS X.
