How to prepare a Mac installer for my java swing application

Can anybody give me suggestions about preparing a custom Mac Installer for a Java swing application. I have tried Xcode but of no use. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance...

Do you actually need an installer? Unless you need to put files in very specific locations and need admin privileges for that, installers are uncommon on the Mac. Typically, you'd use a disk image with a self-contained application bundle. See my answer to this question. That answer also mentions how to create a standard OS X installer.

Take a look at http://izpack.org.

IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run. It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions like as platform-specific installers and package managers.

Or for a more Mac-specific option, see this 10-step tutorial:
