I'd take that link down if I were you. The FTB team doesn't like it when the launcher is redistributed.
Mac Fix for launcher on mac (Minecraft crashes immediately)

It sounds like your issue is that you're not navigating to the directory with your FTB launcher before telling it to launch. For instance, it might be looking for your launcher on your desktop when it's in, say, your "random stuffs" folder on your desktop.
Ok guys I created an apple script and shell command to go with it. To get this working put it in the directory where you installed your FTB and Launcher. Open the FTB_Launcher.sh shell command with Xcode or whatever simple text editor you can and change the %yourname% portion with the name of the user folder you installed it in. Do the same with the script file located in the zip, however after modifying it make sure to save it as an application and you will be able to double click it and run the launcher. For example
/Users/Griffen8280/FTB/ is the name of my user folder where I have all the FTB stuff stored. It is a good idea to store it all in one spot as once you change the names on the script file and the .sh file you will only need the script file to open the launcher with no problems. Hope this helps anyone out there and good luck.

Mac can't use Java 7 due to it being broken with LWJGL, and some forge compatibilities (Not sure on the 2nd)

People the solution is simple.
1. Download Java SE Jar Bundler
2. Download the Feed The Beast jar file
3. Open the jar bundler and select the FTB jar
4. Save the application to the Desktop and bundle
5. Move the new FTB launcher to the applications folder and run the game
All files will save to the destination you give just like in the regular launcher. If you update the launcher it will replace the old jar file with the new

You should add links to the Java 6 downloads, since it is possible for the user to not have Java 6 installed.
