Apps from the Mac App Store can load additional libraries, however I think it is only prudent for them to restrict their loading to libraries within their own code signed bundle. OK, sort of wondered about that. I would maybe see an advantage to loading from classpath in this case. Or, will the plist support some sort of $JAVALIBRARYPATH or similar that would allow this to specify a path within the 'code signed bundle'?

You should be able to specify -Djava.library.path=$JAVA_ROOT in the VM arguments Info.plist key to refer to the (YourApp.app)/Contents/Java directory.
