Mija,

I don't want to start a flame about Mac. I don't have the technical
knowledge to answer in detail any Mac related question, but you know
perfectlly that the deployment of gvSIG in Mac has some difficulties
that are not present at Linux or Windows.

Let me correct myself, reorienting my thoughts "Doing Java apps with
JNI bridges to native libraries is a PITA in every environment, and
gvSIG doesn't have enough resources to cover MacOS, Windows Vista/7 or
Solaris at this time, but collaboration is always welcomed"

Regards
