After a long way I could make a simple Cocoa + Java application using
xcode.

After that I make a installer with Package Maker and it's all ok.
The problem now is that when I install my app doesn't work...
I search for an error or a bug but the only thing I've found is that
the owner for the installation directory is 504 504 (user and group)
and not my login user name? After that I changed the owner and my app
work.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening ? How can I change this ?
How is 504 user and group ???

I set the installation to be done with root permission and by that I
must enter my login password to install (this is a feature I'd like to
maintain...)

The real question is which permissions are set in the archice. You can check this 3 ways:

* You use lsbom in the Terminal on your Archive.bom file within your .pkg.

* You use Pacifist on your .pkg

* You have a look at the "root" directory you're using for your .pmsp PackageMaker document.

BTW:

* If you're asking for root authentication and the package should have your own ownership and group, then it's really a strange distribution. You can't base your permissions on a casual user because in most cases, you are user 501 which part of staff (20 IIRC). Ok, I have 2 users on my machine and so I'm 502. Your program won't work me either.

* there's a new installer-dev mailing hosted by Apple. See http://lists.apple.com
