Solaris and JNLP

[EgonOlsen]

Hi,

i've tried solaris support of LWJGL2.0. It basically works (not great, because the drivers for Solaris suck, but anyway...) but what am i supposed to write as os name in the resources section for Solaris? I can't find that information anywhere!? Obviously not "Solaris", not "OpenSolaris" and not "SunOS". It works only if i load the native parts in the general resources part. If my question is still unclear, here's a part of my jnlp:

        <resources>
		<j2se version="1.5+" initial-heap-size="128m" max-heap-size="512m"/>
		<jar href="robombs.jar" main="true"/>
		<jar href="lib/jpct.jar"/>
		<jar href="lib/lwjgl.jar"/>
		<jar href="lib/lwjgl_util.jar"/>
	</resources>
	<resources os="Windows">
		<j2se version="1.5+"/> 
		<nativelib href="lib/lwjgl_win.jar"/>
		<property name="java.library.path" value="." />
	</resources>
	<resources os="Linux" arch="i386">
		<j2se version="1.5+"/> 
		<nativelib href="lib/lwjgl_linux.jar"/>
		<property name="java.library.path" value="." />
	</resources>
  	<resources os="Mac OS X">
		<j2se version="1.5+"/> 
    		<nativelib href="lib/lwjgl_osx.jar"/>
		<property name="java.library.path" value="." />
  	</resources>
       <resources os="<What to use for Solaris???>" arch="i386">
		<j2se version="1.5+"/> 
    		<nativelib href="lib/lwjgl_solaris.jar"/>
		<property name="java.library.path" value="." />
  	</resources>

The last section is the solaris one. But it doesn't get evaluated until i write the correct os name. But which?

Edit: I was using OpenSolaris for my tests, because Solaris 10 doesn't even manage to start the installation routine on my machine.

lwjgl.org/jnlp/extension.php <-- which you can use... says

<resources os="SunOS" arch="x86">
    <j2se version="1.4+"/>
    <nativelib href="native_solaris.jar"/>
  </resources>

Why do you think that SunOS is a no go ?

Never set "java.library.path" in your JNLP - webstart knows where it places the natives and sets the path correctly.

No, it doesn't. I had to add this for a particular version of WS (can't remember which one...an early Java6 or something), because otherwise, it was unable to find the native parts.

Because it didn't load them when i tried it. I'll give it another go if this is, what it is supposed to be.

JNLP uses the same value as the Java runtime property "os.name". If you have a running Solaris you could check what os.name is for you.

I've found a list of values for os and arch in Webstart. However it is quite dated.

LWJGL itself seems to use "SunOS" in the classes LWJGLUtil and AppletLoarder.
