Sort of surprised me that you can successfully override the user.dir property at launch but it appears you can...

java -cp /Users/mjh -Duser.dir=/Users/mjh UserDir
/Users/mjh

What goes into the Info.plist is parsed by the JavaApplicationStub which has no way as far as I know as you mentioned to work with any kind of user variable.

An option might be to go with launching a Unix script as per...
http://www.amug.org/~glguerin/howto/More-open-files.html#prelude
[You specifiy the script as the application executable in the Info.plist file so not incompatible]

and have the script launch java with something like the above -D property set.
