Hi Jason,
I guess your motivation for doing this is to build the application
bundles on non-OSX platforms such as Windows or Linux.
That is already possible today by including a copy of
JavaApplicationStub in the project using it. However, your solution
makes this one step easier by eliminating the need to copy and
configure the location of JavaApplication stub.
I'm a fan of anything that makes something one step easier :-)

So that license is "personal" and allows to redistribute "only as part
of your own software program".
IANAL either, and I must admit this is quite confusing. I'm not sure
what "personal" means in this context. "..only as part of you own
software program.." might be an issue though. I guess
osxappbundle-maven-plugin is "our own software program", but does that
give us the right to include a copy of the JavaApplicationStub into
other people's software?

Are there any legal wizards around who can comment on this? Is there
something like a "legal department" at Codehaus? Or if this is going
into central, who is responsible for that?
