I'm developing an application that needs to be able to launch a
helper application that's part of the same suite. Users can also run
the helper on its own, so I have two separate application bundles.
What's the best way for my main application to determine the path to
the helper so it can Runtime.exec() it? I'm not too worried about
locating the executable within the bundle so much as what happens if
the user moves or renames the helper.
My current plan is to look for the helper in a fixed location
relative to the main app and if it's not there display a file dialog.
There's no equivalent to the old MRJFileUtils.findApplication() by
signature method though, is there? Any solution really needs to work
with both 1.3 and 1.4 (or later).
