Because your app may depend on this structure. E.g. jre depends on presence bin , lib, etc. Granted Netbeans may be not "best" example of how to package java app as bundle on Mac but IMHO it is good example of complex app and good use case to investigate.

Why don't we focus on directing developers towards the simplest and most elegant solution, instead of over-engineering around their backward layout structures?

If they want an unmaintainable bundle structure, hand assembling their Info.plist is a cost (one of many) they have to pay for running off the rails.

Just my two cents, Mike Swingler Apple Inc.
