[Swift-user] OS X dependencies

[Gustav Larsson]

Thank you for your help Jonathan. After some attempts of upgrading
Java and installing xstream manually (every version I test gets a
different runtime error), I think I will have to abandon this problem
for now and accept that I can't use this computer for now.

I guess we will have to wait and see if this becomes a problem for
everyone in the final release of 10.8, or if it's just a beta quirk. I
will let to list know if I am able to get it running.
