Customize Info.plist file content for Wollok MacOS 64b version

[javierfernandes]

Currently the product is generated by tycho which seems it doesn't have a way to customize the file. The generated file looks like this

We should try to customize:

• CFBundleGetInfoString
• CFBundleName
• CFBundleIdentifier etc.

I found a small maven plugin that can be used

https://github.com/buchen/fix-info-plist-maven-plugin

It would also be nice to see if there's a way to tell MacOS that this app requires java 8 and not java6

I think it is not so important, but I confuses Mac students, so any further research is appreciated. Unfortunately I don't have Mac.

I am not sure to be understanding the problem. If the problem is that we require Java8, we could at least add it to the installation docs, right?
