This works as expected, however it is a good example of
installation for a J-written end-user product rather than
J as development environment.

The previous layout was better, when all the files and folders
are observable and explore-able rather than hidden.
Some things may not even work, like Find in Files, open
system scripts with open dialog, etc. Writing addons into
the space of conceptually immutable app doesn't feel right either.

However, the dmg package is better than tgz.

A closest system to compare is Eclipse: it has three parts:
immutable Java runtime, extensible IDE and user workspace.
