Edit:
I'm not sure if it's a problem with overviewer, but it doesn't color swamp biomes correctly, looks as though swamp biomes aren't getting biome shaded.(both land and water.).
This issue is actually a little confusing. Overviewer doesn't darken swamps correctly, that's true; it may need Biome Extractor support to do this though.
Swamps seem to be darkened in-game, on top of the biome colors that are drawn from foliagecolor.png and the others. Minecraft must have a way of deciding what areas to darken; if this info comes from somewhere other than the temperature / humidity already extracted, this will have to be added to the biome extractor. Otherwise, Overviewer (and other mappers) can figure it out on their own. The Minecraft Wiki doesn't seem to have a clear answer here.
How can I have it use my biome colors instead of the default minecraft colors without changing the files within the minecraft.jar file?
The Biome Extractor doesn't really deal with the colors. If you want to change that, you'll have to look for that option in your mapper. For Overviewer, at least, this means using --textures-path to point to your texture pack zip, like so:
The problem that I am seeing is the Biome Extractor does not exit once finished extracting. This holds up my script until I ctrl+C the Biome Extractor.
I ran into this problem the other day as well. It seems to only happen with the 1.9pre jar.
Anyway, I've fixed the code and uploaded a 1.9pre2-compatible jar here. Please, check it out and make sure it works for you.
(Edit: My first updated version broke the GUI, so I re-fixed that. I've also updated my first post with the new link.)
EDIT: n/m, looks like I have to load the minecraft server jar as well - got it figured out. Thank you!
Strange. It's working for me on 1.8.1 and 1.9pre with client jars. Here's the log I get, for reference:

You seem to have completely different class names than I do, and different numbers of achievements and recipes to boot. Are you sure it was a 1.8.1 jar?
Have you installed any mods that might have changed the class signatures enough to prevent binding?
Hello, everybody! I'm one of the primary developers of Minecraft Overviewer. I was also concerned about whether this Biome Extractor would be updated, so I forked it and brought it in-line with the new 1.8 biome code. Here's the links:
I've only tested this on my own worlds, on my linux system, so please let me know if it works for you. I have tested with both the client and server jar files and they seem to work fine.
If Donkey Kong would like to merge my changes back into his sources, there's a patch file here; or here to include any possible changes made after this post.
(Edit September 30, 2011: I've updated the extractor (and the link) to work with 1.9pre2.)

The version I updated for 1.8 (download found here, linked in this thread here) seems to work fine with the new 1.9 prerelease.
Does it not work for you?
