Yeah, but after I thought about, I believe adding a Class-Path attribute to
the app's manifest is a better strategy.

I think you may have missed my point. If your Info.plist ClassPath is very
long, then it doesn't matter whether your app-jar is just a single
HelloWorld class or not. The JVM is failing before it ever gets to your
class, due to the length of the classpath. At least that's the hypothesis.
To test this, you have to remove everything from the Info.plist ClassPath
except the one jar with one class.
Also, the failure may not be in the JVM, but in the launcher stub that
parses Info.plist. It might have a length limitation that the JVM itself
doesn't.
By the way, what was your command-line when it worked? Did it also have a
long classpath? If so, did it use relative or absolute pathnames?

You could try something more systematic, such as pointing
CFBundleExectuable to a shell script with chmod a+x, just to see if it's
launching. If so, then you know it's not Launch Services.
