Locating resources for an applet has never been a problem, and life is even sweeter now with bundles. What I've always been concerned about is being able to locate resources for compiled scripts, which I write a lot more often than applets.

That's why ya gotta put 'em into a standard location, such as 'asup' or 'pref'.


Which is fine if one is completely in control of the environment. Otherwise, it's just a little more reliable to keep it self-contained. One could use an installer, but people don't like them. I prefer self-containment for the same reasons Omni likes its non-installer installs (as has been mentioned in public). That goes double for scripts--no one wants to have junk installed all over his system just for what is essentially one new application command.
