tek guy commented on MWEBSTART-8:
---------------------------------
I think the os attribute should be changed to "SunOS" instead of "SunOs". We
started using patch 8c and the native libs are no longer downloading to my Sun
machines as they previously were.

> nativelib are resiyrces that are tagged in the following way in a jnlp file:
> <resources os="Windows">
> <nativelib href="thedll.jar"/>
> </resources>
> To support nativelib at the same level of simplicity that the usual
> dependencies are supported requires to:
> - automatically identify them from
> - automatically wrap .dll .so files in jar files
> Q: what about jar files that are architecture dependent?
> In maven 1 it was possible to attach some properties to the dependencies. But
> we cannot use that anymore.
> We could
> 1- mark the dependencies in the pom using the correct <type> in the pom. E.g.
> <type>dll</type>
> 2- make the plugin automatically wrap the native dependency inside a jar.
> 3- automatically fill up the <nativelib> elements using some sort of filter
> mecanism
> <resources os="Windows">
> $allDependencies.filter("dll")
> </resources>
> ??
> $dependencies would implicitly map to $allDependencies.filter("jar") for
> backward compatibility.
> Better: the filter() argument might be a JDK 1.4 regex matching a dependency
> notation. That way we solve the architecture issue (we can match names,
> types, etc..)
> That's just one idea. We can perhaps do better? Let me know how you see it.
