Hey guys, quick question about storing a helper tool in an application
bundle.
Currently I have a tool that is launched via NSTask stored in the
"Contents/MacOS" folder of my bundle. When reading up on code signing I saw
this in the Code Signing Release Notes for Mac OS X v10.5 document:

"Do not put helper applications, plugins, and other separately signed code
into the Resources directory of a bundle. The Resources directory is
directly sealed to the main executable. Put plugins into the Plug-Ins
directory. Put helper tools into the executable directory. Put helper
applications (with their own bundles) into the support directory."

http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Security/RN-CodeSigning/

If I understand that correctly, my tool is in the correct place but I'm not
confident. Should it be in "Contents/MacOS" or should I add a
"Contents/Executable" folder?

Bonus question. Is the support directory referred to above the Application
Support folder or is this another additional, optional bundle directory?

Thanks for any clarification!
