Custom built Java Mac app won't run when in /Applications folder

I have a Java-based application that I've developed for a while now. When I create a Mac .app bundle, I do so by copying the following contents into the .app folder:

When I build the .app, I notice the following:

• The application runs when I copy the .app onto my desktop, and double-click it.


• The application runs when I drag the .app directly to my task bar and click it.


• The application does not run when I copy the .app into my /Applications folder. I see a "do not enter" icon drawn over the app's actual icon, and trying to start it yields the error:

"You can't open the application "RText" because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

• The application does run from the /Applications folder if I run it from the command line:

cd /Applications open -a RText.app

I do have the Java for OS X 2014-001 package installed for Java 6 support. I believe my Info.plist requires Java 6.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to debug this problem. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I'm on OS X 10.10.1. Here's the list of JVMs on my system:
