There is already a way to supply a custom Info.plist. That can have the LSEnvironment entries you want.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8233175 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8233175> I was under the impression that we were after something that would allow different values to get to the application based on environment variables. The env var values can’t be hard-coded in the Info.plist to do that, we want values that are expanded based on set environment variables on the user’s machine. Isn’t that what this is about?

It would modify the Info.plist to include the LSEnvironment entries.
