If I were you I'd phrase the question less as a plugin question and more as a mac os X installer question. What you need to do is create a DMG with an installer that copies the plugin into the ~/Library/Internet Plugins directory. You could do that with a shell script, with an applescript app (that's how we do it), or by including a .pkg. Those are really not plugin-specific questions, though - taxilian
I tried editing the applescript provided by the firebreath which is available in Mac/ folder when i try to run it it doesn't run. I want to wrap the installer in dmg itself. when i try to create a dmg without any changes to applescript i got the dmg which is able to mount but doesnt copy files to /library/internetplugins folder. My question may sound really stupid but im quite new to all this. I'm stuck here - devdev

I've tested many ways: drag'n drop installer, AppleScript, various packaging products. AppleScript was the winner in my case.

Basically you need to create a DMG which contains AppleScript (converted to App). This script copies the plugin to ~/Internet Plug-Ins and restarts browser if needed.
