Such shortcuts need to be implemented.

I am not sure what 'shortcuts' mean for the Mac (an icon on the desktop?). Apparently, shortcuts for the Mac is NOT supported by IzPack. I suspect that a simle Unix script could be added to create an Alias on the desktop for the Mac.

I think we just copy the .app to the /Applications directory. Then users can drag it to the doc. that's what usually happens when you install an app on osx.

Simply copying the kepler.app to the Applications directory will not work (due to some relative paths). To make the $KEPLER directory look like it does on other platforms, a number of needed files are not inside the kepler.app (hidden) directory ( they are inside the parent directory).
Copying an alias to kepler.app does work
The other option would be to not try to preserve the development environment and actually put all the classes within kepler.app

I'm going to close this bug and open another for osx since this is now fixed for windows.
