Roby,
Assuming that you would want to get it during another execution of
the "big" app, you could set a preference (java.util.prefs.*) in
your big app that would contain the name of the small one. Or the
full path to it. Or you could have that preference in your small
app, if you need it during it's execution. Possibly you could also
set the preference for the big app, but also access it from the
small app.
As far as I know the Java API does not provide anything to let you
find out the name of the app bundling it.

Hi folks,
I've got a piece of Java code that allows users to deploy a custom
mini Application (which is basically another Java program). I want
to give the user the ability to call the mini-Java program
AnythingTheyWant.app, but in order to do that, I need a way to get
the name of what they call this application so I can point to files
inside it's hierarchy (e.g. HTML pages, etc).
Of when executed from the Finder the miniapp's, user.dir gives me
the path just before the .app directory (e.g. "/Applications") but
not the app name itself. Any suggestions on how I might get this
information?
Thanks.
