[udig-devel] An installer for OSX to try out

[Jesse Eichar]

The trick is that it only has to go in the user's Library/Java/ 
Extensions.  And because of this it will work for all Java versions so  
the fact that some users may be using java 6 does not matter.  The one  
slight downside is that it will install it for each user rather than  
once for the entire system.  But it is not too much data and I think  
the convenience of a single bundle would be worth it.
