I previously posted this on the Newcomers list, but maybe somebody over here will have a better idea.

I have a Java application that runs on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. I use my Mac for development. I recently migrated from Xcode to Eclipse and I'm moving up the learning curve on Eclipse. I'm able to build and export the project just fine, but Eclipse seems to create a default Info.plist over which I have no control. For example, it says

<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
<string>Myproject1.0, Copyright {user} 2004. All rights reserved.</string>

(actually, for Myproject it has the real name of my project).
This file lives in
Myproject.app/Contents

On Xcode I was able to edit Info.plist to present accurate information, as well as to add a bunch of Java-specific information. Under Eclipse, I can take that old Info.plist file and add it to either the classpath or the bundle during the export process,
but it appears under
Myproject.app/Contents/Resources/Java/Info.plist
as well as the default one which is still in Myproject.app/Contents

Is there any way to control this? I'd really like to have more control over the generated plist, either by editing the version that Eclipse produces or by copying my "good" one into the right subfolder. For one thing, it appears that if I am going to sign code to make it fully compatible with Mountain Lion I need to have direct control over some plist items.

Thanks!
Paul
