you'd have:
CFBundleExecutable: Internet Connect
CFBundleGetInfoString: 1.4
CFBundleIconFile: NetworkConnect.icns
CFBundleIdentifier: com.apple.internetconnect
You do know you can use one of Apple's command-line tools to generate
NeXT-style ASCII plists that look pretty close to this? I really
don't see a need for reinventing the wheel, especially as OS X still
supports reading and writing those.
Oh, and as to someone else's comments that plist editor got in the
way: Yes, but that's the fault of the current implementation. The
general concept would work just fine, and is actually an improvement
over using TextEdit or so. You could support copy & paste just as
well in plistEditor, just as you could fix its annoying habit of
moving entries away under your mouse after a rename etc.
It's just a matter of spending some time on polish, which the bugs
when working with AppleScript terminology files etc. show Apple
didn't do. Which is okay. There are more important apps than that in
Apple's stable.
