2.24 Apps that use deprecated or optionally installed technologies (e.g., Java, Rosetta) will be rejected
You can't use Java for App store apps.
The approval guidelines are here. I cannot see anything that explicitly excludes Java apps but it would have to appear to be 100% native:
6. User interface
6.1 Apps must comply with all terms and conditions explained in the Apple Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines
6.3 Apps that do not use system provided items, such as buttons and icons, correctly and as described in the Apple Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines will be rejected
6.4 Apple and our customers place a high value on simple, refined, creative, well thought through interfaces. They take more work but are worth it. Apple sets a high bar. If your user interface is complex or less than very good it may be rejected
6.5 Apps that change the native user interface elements or behaviors of Mac OS X will be rejected
I can not access that link, i have an account but... You do not have access to this resource based on your membership.
I'll have to have a membership?
I will appreciate if you can copy & paste the guidelines until I'll make a membership, thanks
And if the java is behind an app, it doesn't matter right? I know a few applications like that that are already on app store.
Thanks for the replay, if you have more information i will appreciate it
You can use Java in an App Store app if you bundle your own JVM with the app, but not if you use the system one. I believe that once OpenJDK for Java 7 comes out, there'll be a more easily embeddable JVM available for Mac.
I just finalize my mac developer application, i paid i got the account, can anyone tell me how can i upload my application?
Thanks in advance.
Did you miss the link under Featured Content in the Mac Dev Center that says "Submitting to the Mac App Store"?
Thanks! i missed that, i was reading now that i have to request some certificates that i have to implement into the application, any ideas on that?
On the right-hand side of the Mac Dev Center is a Program Member Resources section. The first item in that section is entitled "Get Your Mac Apps Ready for the Mac App Store". Follow the Learn more link.
Well, i read it all but still i'm a little confused, i'll upload my app via itunes? and how about the app developer code?

You are way out of your element here. You need to hunker down and read everything about the developer program. Go to the site and read everything relevant to getting started. Your questions betray that you seem to think this is a simple process.
I'm sure this is not what Apple intended, but I like to think of the app submission process as an initial culling. If you (as a programmer or as an organisation) are not smart enough to submit an app, then you're unlikely to have been smart enough to have created a quality app, and are unlikely to be smart enough to provide quality support for that app.
I'm sure this is not what Apple intended, ...
... can't find the "do it for me" button.
Hello again, how can i upload the application using application loader? i can not select my dmg file, any ideas?
My application it's like this Java -> app -> dmg.
How do i convert it to .bin?if this is the case
My application it's like this Java -> app -> dmg.
Why are you bothering? If this thing is still Java, it will be rejected, even if it's wrapped into an .app.
