Dean,
This worked for me: Dont worry that you're making a .app executable;
just act like you're making an executable .jar.
Example: I have myapp.jar and it uses sqllib.jar. I make a directory
structure:
/topdir/myapp.jar
/topdir/lib/sqllib.jar
And in myapp.jar's manifest I include lib/sqllib.jar on the class path.
Then, when you build the .app executable, topdir becomes the Java
directory and you cram sqllib.jar into Java/lib.
I do this with ant, not X-code because I'm using a G4/400 running OS X
10.2.8.
HTH.
Regards,
Tom.
