Generating executables for Linux and OS X

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

For Windows, we have a plethora of free options for “wrapping” Java applications in EXE such as JSmooth and launch4j. Are there any equivalents that generate such executables for other operating systems, such as a .APP for OS X? I’m not looking for a launcher. I’m looking for a wrapper. I have my reasons for not wanting a launcher.
