SWT on OS X: change application name

Question

My SWT-based Java application shows SWT as application name in the application menu. I've tried changing it in Info.plist and using Display.setAppName("myApp") but it does not help. What else can I try?

BTW, I'm starting the application using a shell script which is located at MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp.

Display.setAppName() should work, at the condition that it is called before any Display instance is created (either by you or implicitly, e.g. if you call Display.getDefault()).

Haven't tested it, but this description should give an example...
