This page shows you, step by step, how to convert a simple Java application to a version you can distribute on a Mac. To follow along, download the ButtonDemo (.zip) example from the Java Tutorial. This example was created using NetBeans which uses the Ant utility. You can run all necessary tools and make all necessary edits from the command line, without launching NetBeans. The Ant tool is required.
You have created a Java application and want to bundle it for deployment. This requires the following steps:
Create a JAR FileThis step creates the ButtonDemo.jar file.
Execute ant jar in the high-level project directory to create the dist/ButtonDemo.jar file. This jar file is used to create the .app package.
Bundle the JAR File into an App PackageTo create the ButtonDemo.app package, use the appbundler tool. The appbundler is not shipped with the 7u6 version of the Oracle JDK for the Mac. You can download it from the Java Application Bundler project on java.net. There is also AppBundler Documentation available.
As of this writing, the most recent version is appbundler-1.0.jar, which is used by this document. Download the latest version available and substitute the file name accordingly.
- Install the appbundler-1.0.jar file. In this case, create a lib directory in the high-level project directory and add the appbundler-1.0.jar file.
- Modify the build.xml file in the high-level project directory as follows. (The added code is shown in bold.)
- Invoke the appbundler by typing ant bundle-buttonDemo from the high-level project directory. This creates the ButtonDemo.app package in the dist directory.
- You should now be able to launch the application by double clicking ButtonDemo.app in the Finder, or by typing open ButtonDemo.app at the command line.
In order to distribute a Java application, you want to avoid dependencies on third party software. Your app package should include the Java Runtime Environment, or JRE. In fact, the Apple Store requires the use of an embedded JRE as a prerequisite for Mac App Store distribution. The runtime sub-element of the <bundleapp> task specifies the root of the JRE that will be included in the app package.
In this example, the location of the JRE is defined using the JAVA_HOME environment variable. However, you might choose to bundle a JRE that is not the same as the one you are using for development. For example you might be developing on 7u6, but you need to bundle the app with 7u4. You will define runtime accordingly.
Since this example defines the runtime sub-element using JAVA_HOME, make sure it is configured correctly for your environment. For example, in your .bashrc file, define JAVA_HOME as follows:
Use the following steps to modify the build.xml file at the top of the project directory:
- Specify an environment property, named env:
- In the target that creates the bundle, specify the location of the JRE on your system, using the env property:
The resulting build.xml file should look like the following. (The new lines are shown in bold.)
Create a fresh version of ButtonDemo.app, using the ant bundle-buttonDemo command. The resulting version includes the JRE in the app package. You can confirm this by examining the Contents/PlugIns directory inside of the app package.
Sign the AppThe Gatekeeper feature, introduced in Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), allows users to set the level of security for downloaded applications. By default, Gatekeeper is set to allow only OS X App Store and Developer ID signed applications. Unless your app is signed with a Developer ID certificate provided by Apple, your application will not launch on a system with Gatekeeper's default settings.
For information on the signing certificates available, see Code Signing Tasks on developer.apple.com.
The signing certificate contains a field called Common Name. Use the string from the Common Name field to sign your application.
Sign your app using the codesign(1) tool, as shown in the following example:
To verify that the app is signed, the following command provides information about the signing status of the app:
To check whether an application can be launched when Gatekeeper is enabled, use the spctl command:
If you leave off the --verbose tag, and it does not print any output, indicates 'success'.
For more information, see Distributing Outside the Mac App Store on developer.apple.com.
Submitting an App to the Mac App StorePackaging an app for the Mac App Store is similar to packaging for regular distribution up until the step of signing the app. Signing the app for the Mac App Store requires a few more steps, and a different kind of certificate.
You will need to create an application ID and then obtain a distribution certificate for that application ID. Submit your app using Application Loader. For more information, see the following links (on developer.apple.com):
Many Google superfans and casual users alike have set their default browsers to Chrome. However, some have become frustrated when they’ve tried to launch the browser and the following message has popped up:
But what does it mean?
Here, we’ll explain what this app and bundle are (and why some users consider them so “shady”), what the pop-up means, and what you can do to take care of it.
What is Google Software Update?Google Software Update—also called Google Update—is a program that is automatically installed when you download Chrome. Google Update is used to support software patching (including both automatic/background and on-demand software updates) for Google Chrome and other Google products (such as Google Earth).
While what Google claims the file does is benign in and of itself, because of how Google Update has been designed, it actually behaves like malware. Back in 2009, Wired even posted an article called “Google Software Update Tool is evil.”
The problem is that Google Update is automatically installed onto your computer when you download software like Chrome. Google never actually asks for your permission to download it and doesn’t give you an option to deny it. Because of this, most people don’t even know that Google Update is installed on their computers. In fact, many don’t even know that the software exists — hence the confusion when the “GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle” pop-up appears.
It’s because of these factors, particularly that the app is installed without your knowledge, as well as the fact that it’s notoriously difficult to uninstall—that Google Update is often seen as behaving like malware.
What the “GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle” pop-up meansA bundle is a library that can be used by one or more apps to perform common tasks. In other words, an app uses a bundle to do whatever work it’s designed to do. In this case, Google apps use the GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle to help automatically check for updates.
All software you download from the App Store is reviewed and approved as trustworthy by Apple. However, when you download third-party software from outside of the App Store, such as Chrome, Apple treats it differently.
The “GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle” pop-up in particular, then, shows up because it might be triggering warnings in macOS. For example, Apple might detect that the bundle could make operating system calls that could potentially be dangerous if misused. Just as users opposed to Google Update have noted, Apple has identified that this software has the potential to behave like malware.
Find out if GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle is installed your MacFirst off, you’ll want to make sure that Google Update is installed by locating it on your computer.
Here’s how to find GoogleSoftwareUpdate.app on your Mac:
- Launch Terminal (Finder > Applications > Utilities).
- Type this command into Terminal: defaults read com.google.Keystone.Agent.plist
- Hit Return. A screen that looks like this should come up:
If you don’t see a screen that looks like that, Google Update hasn’t been installed on your computer. If you do have GoogleSoftwareUpdate, read ahead to find out how to remove it.
Uninstall GoogleSoftwareUpdate.appIn order to uninstall Google Update (and prevent Google apps from installing the update again), you’ll need to use a different approach.
Here’s how to completely uninstall the app:
- Launch Terminal.
- Type the following commands:
sudo touch ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 444 ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
For complete removal of GoogleSoftwareUpdate, execute such commands:
sudo touch /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 444 /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
After uninstalling Google Update, you’ll want to make sure it’s been completely removed from your Mac. To make sure it’s gone for good, launch Chrome and type chrome://help into the Chrome’s address bar.
You should see a message that looks like this:
If you do, then congrats! You’ve successfully uninstalled Google Update.
Change how often GoogleSoftwareUpdate.app runsBecause Google Update’s main goal is to automatically update Google software, you may not want to delete the app completely. Instead, you may want to change how often Google checks for software updates.
After typing defaults read com.google.Keystone.Agent.plist into Terminal, notice the “checkInterval” setting.
This shows, in seconds, how often Google checks your Mac for software updates. By default, Google checks your computer every 5 hours (18,000 seconds) for updates.
You can adjust this time in Terminal. Here’s how:
- Launch Terminal.
- Type the following command: defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 86400
By running this command, you’ve set Google Update to check for updates every 24 hours (86400 seconds). You can increase this time by making the interval larger.
Conversely, you can set an interval to 0, which will mean that Google will no longer send any update data to your computer. This is enough for most users to stop seeing notifications about GoogleSoftwareUpdate.app.

As you see, removing GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle isn’t difficult. Be aware that removing this file, you actually stop Google from regularly updating its software. So, if you want to keep your browser or other Google software up-to-date, don’t remove the bundle. Instead, adjust how often Google can check for updates.
Hope this was helpful!
