Re: [Openjnlp-devel] UPDATED: Please help, I want to submit a patch for OpenJNLP

[Grant W. <gr...@na...>]

Chad,

I haven't looked at OpenJNLP in quite awhile, so I apologize for not  
responding quicker. I spoke briefly with Kherr this afternoon, and  
there are some issues we should look at.

First off, to build OpenJNLP use the build file in devel/targets/
	cd build/targets
	ant build -or- ant compile

second,  I added your patch to Gestalt.java to check for WindowsXP.  
Gestalt.java should be at revision 1.3 now unless I did something  
wrong.  I ran into one other bug, which was an odd double semicolon in  
IconFactory that the 1.4 compiler didn't like which is now fixed...  
which brings me to the final bigger problem:

The big barrier to compiling on windows is the MacOSAppHandler class,  
which imports the OSX specific MRJ classes.  There may be others, but I  
think tat is the one that complains the most.  Obviously, this needs to  
be addressed, possibly with some trickery in the build.xml file.  The  
easiest hack, really, is to delete it and then edit the classes that  
use it... (openjnlp.desktop.MasterFrame comes to mind) until we get  
another solution in place using Ant.  Ah, the joys of integrating java  
into various environments.
