A .dmg file is not an installer, it's a disk image file. If you want to make something available for distribution, the easiest way is to create a new folder (directory), copy all of the files and folders you want to distribute into it, and then use either the OS X Disk Utility application (in /Applications/Utilities) or the command line hdiutil utility to create a new disk image file from the contents of the folder.

    +1 for hdiutil. There's an ant example here: http://robotchase.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/robotchase/trunk/build.xml?revision=66&view=markup – trashgod Feb 01 '10 at 17:32

Use "Jar Bundler" in the XCode download from Apple Developer Connection.

You will need to register for a free account.

You can use the Macify Maven Plugin.
