Yeah, that's a good point, I've removed the the link and I'm trying to get in touch with the devs.

Like I said above, I am willing to do this. I am volunteering to do this. I just don't know who I need to get in contact with or how to contact them. I would love to do this for the devs if they wanted me to, to make it better for everyone. And I apologize, didn't really mean for them to do more work. All I was getting was what I was trying to figure out the reason for distributing the .jar I would be great if you could point me in the right direction, if not then thanks for your input

@Maxis010 I'm not all that familiar with the mac, so bear with me. I understand that the .jar launcher is the installer. Is there a way to launch Technic after its been installed without the .jar? Or does a typical user need to double click the .jar every time they want to play? As for Jenkins not being able to bundle it as an .app (if thats the case) could they use some human intervention to do it? I'd never even heard of bundling a .jar as an .app until I googled it. It took me maybe 15 minutes, and I had no clue what I was doing. I bet with a little experience, the process would take no time at all. They have an amazingly coded website with some very advanced html5 features, they know what they're doing. Why can't we have an .app?

@Al3xthegre4t Here is a link that will download the .app. I'm new to the mac, so if something doesn't work as it should, feel free to let me know and I'll give it a fix. Removed URL I didn't know you could paste an image onto the jar file, I'm going to have to look into how to do that. I didn't use the icon that comes with the windows .exe because its such a low resolution (not that the one I found on google is all that much better) and would look pretty terrible on a mac. If you have another, or a better icon, let me know and I'll add it to it. I'd love to hear some feedback if you download it and it all works successfully.

So I downloaded the Mac Technic Launcher the other day and I was very dissapointed. All you get when you click the download button is a java .jar file. It has no icon (just the default java icon) and you can't add it to the dock. You just hide it somewhere and then have to navigate to it every time you want to play, unless you don't mind an unsightly java launcher on your desktop. So I decided to bundle it into a mac .app with an icon and then create a installer. I think that user experience is an important aspect of any software. After creating the installer, I was able to double click and it then installed like any other mac application and then I added it to the dock. It works great an looks good. I guess what I'm getting at is, is there a reason that all Technic offers is a .jar? Could they offer either a .app or a .pkg (installer) as a download instead? I believe that offering an installer (or even just a zipped .app) would provide a much better user experience. I don't know who I should talk to, to make this happen, or if there's a bigger reason why this hasn't been done already. I am willing to create this if necessary, and I could use whatever icon that Technicpack.net would prefer. I hope I posted this in the right place, if not, could someone please direct me to the correct location.
