Handy.
It's very easy to make an App Bundle using 'Jar Bundler' that comes
with the Java 1.4.1 Dev Tools. See below.

That is great to hear!
I am happy to report that the update to Java on MacOSX has fixed two
bugs I had with XXE :
pressing RETURN works again
you can copy/paste accented chars between apps again
I made an Application Bundle out of my copy of XXE.
In case this helps, here is the bundle structure and info.plist :

Notice how you can use the Properties section of the info.plist to set
up your XXE_CONFIG etc. environment variables, if you prefer to do it
this way.
Hope this helps
