Hi John,
Testing your release on the Mac, without my app bundle does not work.
I get the following errors:
COPYRIGHT.txt getting-started.txt native
LICENSE.txt helpDocs programData
brailleblaster.jar lib
Shelty-2:dist AlexJ$ java -jar brailleblaster.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

Any ideas what I can do?
