[OS X TeX] Not Sure If this belongs to here: execute latex shell from java

[Marcus Michalsky]

I was a little hasty,
now i catched the exception, and it says, latex not found.
it seems that i have to use another overloaded method for it, where i  
put in the PATH of LaTeX

Can anybody give me the full path for the LaTeX binaries in MAC OS  
10.4.7 with i-Installer TeX ?

Thx, Marcus
