Any framework engineers that can verify the following or suggest
workarounds that do not include "well, don't do that" responses.

You cannot do any of this stuff, to my knowledge. XML property lists have a specific DTD and a specific parser that is not a general XML parser.

You should talk to the frameworks folks (maybe on the cocoa-dev list) if you have suggestions for extending the permitted format of XML property lists.

Subject: Info.plist Questions

I have several questions concerning 'Info.plist' but have been unable
to get answers in the java development mailing list.

Can someone here provide answers or links to appropriate documentation?

------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Why don't internal general entities seem to work?

I tried the following:

<?xml ...?>
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<!ENTITY appname "App">
<plist ...>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>&appname;</string>
...
</dict>
</plist>

Double-clicking on the application bundle afterwards shows
the zoom out from the double-click, then nothing.


------------------------------------------------------------------
2) How to emulate "==" in string value

I was trying to emulate the following:

-Djava.security.manager
-Djava.security.policy==App.policy

In the application bundle, I have copied the policy to $JAVAROOT.
Using "==" instructs the JVM to use only the application-specific
permissions file and ignore the other two permissions files,
tightening the sandbox. Don't seem to be able to express the
preceding equals in order to get it to work.

<key>java.security.manager</key>
<string></string>
<key>java.security.policy</key>
<string>$JAVAROOT/App.policy</string> # works but not same
<!--
<string>=$JAVAROOT/App.policy</string> # doesn't work
-->


------------------------------------------------------------------
3) How to reference $HOME in string value

Have a need to define my data directory in terms of $HOME.
Something like the following but didn't read anywhere that
environment variables were available.

<key>app.data.dir</key>
<string>$HOME/Documents/App</string>

How is it done?
