Excellent! Thank you.  I'll work it into my current wiki.

Great! Thanks. This is one aspect that would be extremely useful but that
I've been avoiding - so thank you.

I did however make some brief notes on getting the environment working on a
Mac. Please feel free to use.

*Java and Maven on OS X 10.7*

*Maven*

Mac's ship with maven 3 by default. OODT needs maven 2. Should you wish to
get maven 2 set up as your default, you can use the following steps:


   1. Download apache-maven-2.2.1-bin tar file.
   2. Install it to /usr/share/ by running sudo tar
   xzvf apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/share
   3. Now hook it in as the default maven.

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/mvn
$ sudo rm /usr/share/maven
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/apache-maven-2.2.1 /usr/share/maven
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/maven/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn

*Java VM*

To get the java environment working, you need to get the java_home command
into your *$PATH.*
$ ln -s
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java_home
/usr/bin/java_home

Now set up the environment variable. Add this line to your ~/.profile or
file.
JAVA_HOME=$( java_home )

Or source it directly:
JAVA_HOME=$( 
System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java_home
)

Cheers,
Tom
