This sounds too simple! But I wonder why you picked "A" instead of

I don't know why JavaApplicationStub lives there. All I know is I did a search
of my drive for this stub and that's the only place where I found it.

What did you use to do the search? In a Terminal window I ran
% locate JavaApplicationStub
and came up with several...
The one in /System/Library/Frameworks/<etc> and one for each java
based .app application I have.


Reasons to have the JavaApplicationStub in your .app bundle rather
than using the one on the machine include

* You have no guarantee that the current path will be correct in the future.
+ which will make a symbolic link fail.

* A future stub that you couldn't have tested with could break your app.
+ why does Greg ship with the 10.1 stub?

* Drag-install from a disk image doesn't give you a chance to run something
to muck about with copying/linking.
+ the simpler install, the better.
