Thanks Chris, I am trying to understand your comment.
So this is not the plist inside the GeoServer.App, but the plist inside the
JDK that is an issue? If we switched to the JRE would this issue be
resolved...
I suppose the string "BundledApp" is the entry we actually need added,
rather than only command line.
I know some applications (indeed any application that is sold through the
Apple store) include a JDK as part of their bundle. We could take this
approach for GeoServer but it would be a bit of a hit to download size.
Given that not many people will have installed Java 7 this approach may
actually be a good idea?
