title: Why is Jar Bundler gone in Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
body: <p>There was a application from Apple called <a href="http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundler/About/About.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884-CH202-BAJCICAA" rel="noreferrer"><code>Jar Bundler</code></a> which got distributed by Apple with Xcode in the past.</p>
  
  <p>The purpose of <code>Jar Bundler</code> was to create Mac OS X application bundles (<code>*.app</code> directories) for Java applications until version 6 (1.6.x) for Mac OS X user convenience.​​​​​​​​</p>
  
  <p>As of now, you can still get </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>JDK 1.6.0_43 from Apple </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>aka </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Java for OS X 2013-002 Developer Package Mar 4, 2013 </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>for the current Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 via </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action#" rel="noreferrer">https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action#</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>but you cannot get <code>Jar Bundler</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using an up to date <strong>Mac OS X 10.8.2</strong> and up to date <strong>Xcode 4.6 (4H127)</strong> with all <em>Command Line Tools</em> installed. After all research I did I would expect it here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/share/java/Tools/Jar Bundler.app
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But there isn't any <code>Jar Bundler</code>. Even a global search <code>sudo find / -name Jar\ Bundler.app</code> did not really find <code>Jar Bundler</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is: What is the last known Xcode version coming with <code>Jar Bundler</code></p>
  
  <p>Note: I know there are other ways to achieve what <code>Jar Bundler</code> is doing here, like for example using <a href="http://informagen.com/JarBundler/" rel="noreferrer">Mac OS X JarBundler ANT Task</a> or build the whole application package by hand, but thats not the question.</p>
