<@ULHGMG9U5> I tried the approach you suggested of copying resources out of the jar into a folder so that they can be accessed outside of the jar. This works when the app is in the build folder, but when it’s in the `/Applications` folder, it has an issue when trying to copy to the `My <http://App.app/Contents/resources|App.app/Contents/resources>` dir.
```java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /resources: Read-only file system```
Does anyone have a recommendation of where I should be saving these resource files?

I’m using `"${System.getProperty("user.dir")}/Resources"` as the path.

One could use `$HOME/Library/MyApp` or unpack file per request in `/tmp`. We’ll try to fix it in plugin. cc: <@U0BLUPVPY> 

Fix what exactly?
I agree that we probably need a mechanism for packing resources outside of a jar.

yep, I meant fix for adding arbitrary files into an application image, i.e. under Resources folder

I'm also interested in swapping out jar files to auto update an app. I had done research that indicated that an application on Mac had permission to modify its own app contents with signed files. Is that not actually the case?
