    initial v1  
    1 If the app already contains an entire JRE, then I think it won't be necessary to have the `openjdk8` port installed. I'm not very familiar with macOS GUI apps that use Java, but I guess the .app must contain some kind of start script that starts the `java` process with the correct arguments. Maybe you can take a look at the package contents of another macOS GUI app on how to do this. Dealing with the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable indeed shouldn't be necessary in this case.

I'm not very familiar with macOS GUI apps that use Java, but I guess the .app must contain some kind of start script that starts the `java` process with the correct arguments (using the `java` binary from the included JRE).
