[osmosis-dev] some tests failed on Gentoo (may be because of wrong CLASSPATH)

It is a good thing that it is self contained for user installations. But
I don't think that concept can work for a distribution. The package
manager must install the dependencies. It is not possible for osmosis to
download dependencies afterwards. It is run as a user, and users can't
write to the installation folder of the application.
I once tried to make an ebuild for osmosis and miserably failed, because
of this and because I know too little about Java.
