If you're on a Mac and have no map editor like me, you might need to run custom maps on SC2 and have no way to do it. (No editor = no test document feature).
So, I wrote you a shell script! But then I realized most users have no interest in a shell script. So I wrote you a Java app! The java application is attached below. Just run it and select the map, then hit launch. It's very easy to use.
There is an issue that I haven't been able to figure out. Some maps will just fail to load for (from what I can tell) no reason. My own maps and a few others on SC2Mapster.com do load, but a lot do not. To fix this, try playing the map over Battle.net using my other tool. (http://forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/993-tool-mac-sc2-custom-map-launcher/)
The exact method I use to open the map is below. It's jsut a terminal command I run.
open "Starcraft II.app" --args -run "${MAPLOCATION}"
sry to have such a noob question. i download the app, and run it. it say "require the Lost temple map to run" so my question is where can i download the map and which folder to save it?

Edit: New, better code! Also supports multiplayer! (Multiplayer solves loading issue)

Very nice job, Motive!
Updated with an easy-to-use Java application for those who can't use Terminal.

@longtea: Go
Just log onto Battle.net and create a game with Lost Temple and it will download it to the correct location for you.
Can't get sp to work. It just opens the game, I have to log in, then re-DL the Lost Temple and that's the map that loads.
