Description

We have a growing number of projects that rely on SWT/JFACE from eclipse that we need to distribute via JNLP. At the moment we hand code the JNLP file because we want to use a single file for multiple platforms/os's.

Would it be possible to add 2 properties to each dependency, such as:

<property key="jnlp.resource.os" value="SunOs" />
<property key="jnlp.resource.arch" value="SPARC" />

The plugin could then generate multiple <resource></resource> blocks for each combination of os/arch.

This would enable this plugin to build a project targeted at multiple platforms, but with a single jnlp file and code base.

If i decided to attempt this, what files should i post (in what format) and where?

Oops, properties should be

<jnlp.resource.os>SunOS</jnlp.resource.os>
<jnlp.resource.arch>SPARC</jnlp.resource.arch>

I use SWT and jnlp together quite a bit. The Maven JNLP plug-in wasn't very useful to me because it didn't support the 'OS' and 'ARCH' attributes.

I put together a patch to support these two elements.

I created the two new properties Darren Bell suggested.
jnlp.resource.os
jnlp.resource.arch

So to use this patch with SWT, I setup my project.xml like this:

<dependency>
<groupId>swt</groupId>
<artifactId>swt-win32</artifactId>
<version>3138</version>
<properties>
<jnlp.jar>true</jnlp.jar>
<jnlp.resource.os>Windows</jnlp.resource.os>
<jnlp.resource.arch>x86</jnlp.resource.arch>
</properties>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>swt</groupId>
<artifactId>swt-linux</artifactId>
<version>3138</version>
<properties>
<jnlp.jar>true</jnlp.jar>
<jnlp.resource.os>Linux</jnlp.resource.os>
<jnlp.resource.arch>i386</jnlp.resource.arch>
</properties>
</dependency>
