I'm also interested in this issue being fixed. It's making things very tricky 
with regards to being able to deploy a SWT application...

EDIT: And I'm quite surprised that this issue has been around for *3 years* 
without being fixed.

All I need is some simple way of being able to do the following:

Assuming I have a set of profiles that load the Linux JARs for SWT and the 
Windows JARs for SWT depending on the operating system of the developer, I want 
to be able to manually load all the dependencies for the operating system(s) 
I'm targeting.

I then need to be able to specify (somehow) that those JARs should be added to 
their own resource elements, with a specific OS/Arch attribute.

e.g.

I have the following dependencies:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux</groupId>
<artifactId>gtk-x86</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0-v3346</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32</groupId>
<artifactId>win32-x86</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0-v3346</version>
</dependency>

I want most of my dependencies to be listed as normal, but I want some way (I'm 
not very fussy - as long as it's possible, I don't care about the details :)) 
of turning the above JARs into the following:

<resources os="Linux" arch="i386">
<jar href="gtk-x86-3.3.0-v3346.jar" />
</resources>
<resources os="Windows">
<jar href="win32-x86-3.3.0-v3346.jar" />
</resources>

Ideally, whatever method I use should be compatible with the jnlp-single goal.

As it stands now, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to use Maven to build this 
project, which is a real shame because I really like Maven, but if I can't get 
it to include some OS-specific deps in the right way, it's not all that useful 
to me.

> 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.
