Chuck, The second method you mentioned worked very well.

There was an example somewhere called, I think, JavaTool. /System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/ javaeoutil.woa on your hard drive is another example that this is possible. There are two approaches to this: the easy way and the hard "fight the tool" way. The easy way is to package your app as a .woa bundle with the models in App.woa/Contents/Resources and the working directory at launch of App.woa. This structure is what allows all the automatic loading behavior you are expecting. The hard way (and I suspect it is not all that hard) is to create the default model group and then manually load the model(s). See the JavaDocs on EOModelGroup and EOModel for how to do this.
