As I understand this, sizers is to X11 Java code what the

various sizes of native data structures used by X11 so that those
values can be handled correctly in the Java code (storing pointer and
offsets in Java code to pass ot native). Unlike the UnixConstants
these values only seem to differ between 32-bit and 64-bit, not across
different OS
To me it sounds like two checked in files, sizes-32.data and
sizes-64.data, or whatever the names should be. And perhaps a script to
re-generate those if the need should ever arise. But that need not be
run as part of the build process.
Anyone against such a solution?
That's something for Artem and other AWT folk to consider.
As I said we manage to work with this for cross-compiling by simply
building and running on the build host to get the data for the target
(which as far as I know is not OS specific - but I don't have absolute
confirmation on that). The only glitch we had was that when we started
cross-compiling on 64-bit linux it generated 64-bit data for a 32-bit
target (oops!) - but that was easily fixed.
