As of XCode 4 on Lion, Apple no longer supplies the Property List Editor application with the developer tools that come with Mac OS X. Instead, we are supposed to use XCode, a heavy, bloated IDE, to edit Apple's binary property lists, a common operation for administrators and developers alike.
Now, I don't feel like firing up XCode every time I want to edit a property list. I wanted to get the old Property List Editor app back, so I found a way to do just that.
The following is a tutorial on how to get Property List Editor.app working with Mac OS X Lion and XCode 4. Please note that you will need to have the Developer Tools installed for this to work.
NB: If this doesn't work for you, please don't send me questions or queries. I simply don't have the time to respond to them.
Step 1
Get your copy of Snow Leopard, either on disc or in disk image format. Insert disk or mount disk image.
UPDATE: Someone, ehrm, has put these files up for download at the following link: download Property List Editor. app + PlistEdit.framework. If you get them there you can skip directly to step 4.
Step 2
Download Pacifist, an application which allows you to extract files from package installers.
Step 3
Open Pacifist, and select the XCode.mpkg package in the Optional Installs folder on the disk.
Now, what you need to do is extract two files. The first one is the Property List Editor.app application bundle. It's under 'Contents of Developer Tools', in:

.That's it. You should now be able to use the Property List Editor application on Lion, just as you did on Snow Leopard.

What is a PLIST file?
A PLIST file is a settings file, also known as a 'properties file,' used by macOS applications. It contains properties and configuration settings for various programs. PLIST files are formatted in XML and based on Apple's Core Foundation DTD.
PLIST files can be saved in a text or a binary format. The text-based documents and can be edited with a text editor. However, they typically should not be edited by the user, since they are modified by their respective programs as needed.
Property list files included with applications can be created and edited by the developer using Apple's Property List Editor, which is included with Apple Developer Tools. They can also be opened and edited using a third-party PLIST editing program.
NOTE: You can convert PLIST files between XML and binary formats using the plutil command line tool:
