If you have Xcode installed, ask Spotlight about:
code signing
There's a "Code Signing Guide" in the /Developer/Documentation tree.
Without Xcode installed, search here:

for:

The way to have user-modifiable properties is to put them in a file stored
outside the app-bundle. Then in your code, load the properties-file early
in your app's startup. WHere you put the properties file is up to you. I
have variously used:
~/Library/Preferences/
~/Library/Application Support/
~/.yourAppProfile
/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Application Support/
I've done this many times and it works fine for most properties. In my
experience, the ones it won't work for are not ones that users are likely
to change, e.g. java.awt.headless. YMMV.
Modifiable VMOptions will be a harder one to work around. Sorry, no ideas
for that yet, but it's still early days.
