just like in most unix systems, Mac OS X executables have no extension.
i.e. "project1.exe" is win executable, but in mac it would be  "project1"

But in OSX, GUI applications are presented as application bundles.
Application Bundles are structure of directories and files treated by system
GUI tools (i.e. Finder) as a single File.

You can read more about it here:
