Jon, I didn't write the installer (perhaps Tim will chime in), but the challenge to using Lift on Mac OS X is that OS X installs Maven 2.0.8 by default and 2.0.9 is required for the Maven-Scala plugin and Lift. I believe that the installer simply installs Maven 2.0.9 and makes sure that this is the version of Maven that is the default for the system.
