Use a property in Info.plist. It's easy to do, and it will automagically
change regardless of where the app is, or even if the user renames it to
Kerflubble.
Let's say you have this Java code:
String selfPath = System.getProperty( "self.name" );
System.out.println( "I am at: " + selfPath );
Then you put this in the Properties dictionary under Java in Info.plist:
self.name : String : $APP_PACKAGE
When you double-click the application, the Java launcher will automatically
substitute its actual base name for the $APP_PACKAGE string, and your code
that retrieves the property will see the resolved pathname.
