Lets say you created a little Java Desktop app with a jar and some dependencies and possibly a license text file. I know there are plenty of Ant tasks that can generate installers, executables and proper Mac OS X applications including packaging them as ".dmg" files. Examples would be JarBundler and Launch4j
Does similar things exist for Maven?
Thanks

This type of file is compatible with operating systems like MS-DOS, ReactOS, Windows and OpenVMS. Since Mac computers use a different operating system than Windows computers, EXE files aren't compatible with Mac devices.
EXE files are used in a few operating systems, the most notable of them being Microsoft Windows. You can think of EXE files as the Windows version of APP files (APP files, if you're unaware, are executable files under macOS). Go further and learn how to fix MS Word not responding on Mac.
Because Mac OS X ships with the Jar Launcher application, the end user needs only double click on the jar file and the application will launch. To make the jar file executable, the manifest must include the name of the Main class file. Unjar JavaSoundDemo. jar with the command jar xvj JavaSoundDemo.
