Since a lot of the code is licensed under LGPL, unless you can isolate the LGPL code into a library and simply link to it, whatever you release on the App Store will need to also be available as source code. (I am not a lawyer and don't construe what I'm saying as actual legal advice, it's simply my interpretation of the license statement. Yadda, yadda, yadda.)

I guess I was assuming it would be free on the App Store, and that it was there to facilitate distribution rather than to make money. Still, either way, we could still keep the source in a Git repository as we do now, and the App Store binary would just be for convenience.
It's a shame that packaging Eclipse for the App Store would probably be impossible. (Firstly you have to ship as a single app bundle, and secondly for Java apps they need to use an embedded JVM, rather than using the system one.) It'd be lovely to just point prospective WO users to an app store page.
