Sorry to jump in on someone else's thread, but I got stuck at the exact
same point.

I had a simple app (Hello World) using only the Waba APIs. I could
launch the JAR file on Mac OS X, worked fine. But couldn't for the life
of me figure out how to make a .pkg out of it.

I checked out Steve Weyer's Waba page, but left more confused than when
I started. :)

So, I've written my Waba app, using the waba.* classes. It compiles and
runs on the host (Mac OS X). What magical incantation of exegen/warp do
I have to do to get a .pkg?

Also, is there a command line exegen/warp for Mac OS X? There only
seemed to be really questionable Classic versions....
