Going back to old legacy application building code on OS X the original OS X 
port project came up with AppBundler. That had included a feature where a 
Classes directory was included in <App>/Contents/Java/Classes. This directory 
was also automatically added into classpath. I found it convenient for adding 
application specific resources like property files. I’m not sure I ever saw 
anyone else mention using it. 

I am currently not finding those files in testing my jpackage app so I assume 
that is no longer supported? It was copied when I pointed my jpackage input 
directory to my old application’s Java directory but I am guessing it is no 
longer in class path. I suppose just jar’ing the resources into a file in the 
Java directory would be an easy enough fix, although to me maybe slightly less 
convenient.

Is this, in fact, no longer supported? Is there any chance some similar feature 
might be added?
