I'd certainly like osmosis to work on Mac OS. I wonder if there is an
alternative solution, something like providing a dummy polygon class
that lets it compile on JDK 1.5, but just throws an exception. Then you
hopefully wouldn't need much difference between the two versions. If you
tried a polygon extract on Java 1.5, you would just get that exception,
which could be handled nicely.
