Hi Jan,

Thanks for your interest in ArgoUML!

Perhaps it would help to explain that there are two separate stages to the 
development and release of argouml.

1) Usually developers working on the argouml application do so inside 
Eclipse, checking out the code from subversion as you have probably done, and 
ultimately, builds a set of jar files which run from within eclipse.  The jar 
files are not really 'installed' on the machine, the application is running 
directly from the compiled output of the development environment.

2) A separate step is handled by the argoumlinstaller project 
(http://argoumlinstaller.tigris.org/), which is part of the main argouml 
project.  This step usually only happens on an official release, takes the 
'tried and tested' source code from svn, and builds the files into a number 
of packaged bundles that are appropriate for end users.  This includes .zip 
and .tar.gz files for people who just want the jars, an .exe windows 
installer, and a app.tgz file for mac users.  The build script also creates 
the download page you see when you click 'other formats and addin modules'. 
The files it creates can be used by end users to install ArgoUML on their 
machine, which effectively means copying the jar files to an appropriate 
place, and perhaps setting up some shortcuts, icons and associations.

The bit that builds the mac bundle is here:
http://argoumlinstaller.tigris.org/svn/argoumlinstaller/trunk/appbund/doit.sh

Scanning through, I can see that this builds the Info.plist, but I don't see 
any reference to icon files, so perhaps this means that there are currently 
no icons on the mac install (I don't know because I've never tried it).

Hope this info helps!

Dave
