[josm-dev] Mac .app

I occasionally use a Mac as well. I have the .jar lying around on the  
desktop, and double-click it to start JOSM. What advantage does  
a .app have over this?

Don't worry too much about breaking the line, everybody here does  
what he likes anyway ;-)

If you have your own webspace somewhere, feel free to put the .app  
file there and make a link from the JOSM project page (that's a wiki  
page, you can edit it without creating an account). If there is a way  
to build the .app under Linux without user intervention, then we can  
also create it automatically with the nightly build. I could also put  
your .app on the JOSM download server manually, but I hesitate to do  
that because I would not know how to keep it current.

Bye
Frederik
