[Browserlaunch2-development] progress on release and o/s support question

[Jeff C. <sdv...@ya...>]

Hi,

First off, thanks Thomas for all your work.

I've spruced-up the test application. It now has a text area that 
captures info on the Java version being used and some information on the 
OS. Stacktraces are also captured and displayed in the text area (try 
entering a url without a protocol). I've added a copy button to allow 
for pasting the debug info into an email. The UI strings for the test 
app are now stored in a resource bundle for easier modification.  We can 
also i18n it someday if desired. I also made a small change to build.xml 
to facilitate copying the property file to the classes dir.

I'm putting together the web pages for the project. I want to include a 
page that gives specific information on which OS's we are supporting. 
Hopefully users will provide us with info on which one's work. Most 
likely they will only tell us when something doesn't work.

What level of detail do you think is appropriate for this page and what 
OS's have you tested on at this point?

Should we include information on which browsers are supported? This will 
likely be different for each platform.

Thanks,
Jeff

I guess the level of detail should be as curse as possible. In case of 
Mac OS X, it probably comes down to "10.2 or higher" because AFAIR Mac 
OS X 10.1 only supports JDK 1.3.

I've tested with Mac OS X, to be more specific (the "copy" button 
rocks):

Java Version: 1.4.2_05
Java Vendor: Apple Computer, Inc.
OS Name: Mac OS X
OS Version: 10.3.7
