Hi Peter,
The design using enum for the os dependencies does not make it possible
to include only the support needed for a particular platform at build time.
Every implementation will be carrying around the support for all the
other platforms.
A build time binding would be more efficient.

Hi Alan, Volker,
Thanks for sharing the info and for testing on AIX. Here's the updated
webrev that hopefully includes the correct "dispatch on os.name"
logic. I included "Solaris" as an alternative to "SunOS" since I saw
this in some documents on Internet. If this is superfluous, I can
remove it:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/UNIXProcess/webrev.03/
I tested this on Linux and Solaris and the java/lang/ProcessBuilder
jtreg tests pass. So with Volker's test on AIX, the only OS platform
left for testing is Mac OS X. Would someone volunteer?
Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,
thanks for applying these changes to the AIX files as well.
With the additional line:
if (osName.equals("AIX")) { return AIX; }
in Os.get() your change compiles cleanly on AIX and runs the
java/lang/ProcessBuilder tests without any errors.
So from an AIX perspective, thumbs up.
Regards,
Volker

I don't know if there is a definite list but I assume we don't need
to be
concerned with anything beyond the 4 that we have in OpenJDK, which is
"Linux", "SunOS", "AIX" and contains("OS X").
If we get to the point in JDK 9 where src/solaris is renamed to
src/unix (or
something equivalent) then it could mean that the Os enum can be
replaced
with an OS specific class in src/linux, src/solaris, ... and this would
avoid the need for an os.name check at runtime.
