[OSM-dev] josm apple-click

[Steve Coast]

Maybe we should work out a better mac JOSM behaviour?

To be consistent it should really pan on two-finger scrolling in both  
axes right, like viewing an image, text or PDF. How you zoom, I don't  
know but maybe apple-two-finger-scroll?

The menus.. I've seen JAVA apps hook in to the menubar so I assume  
with some magic this is possible, hopefully you can just throw it a  
Swing object and it magically works, but that's hope.

The mac swing theme is nice, maybe it could be magically selected if  
JOSM starts for the first ever time and figures out it's running on a  
mac?

I'm happy to hack on some of this and add javadoc along the way if it  
makes sense.
