support native libraries
------------------------
Key: MOJO-363
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-363
Project: Mojo
Type: New Feature
Components: webstart
Reporter: Jerome Lacoste
nativelib are resiyrces that are tagged in the following way in a jnlp file:
<resources os="Windows">
<nativelib href="thedll.jar"/>
</resources>
To support nativelib at the same level of simplicity that the usual
dependencies are supported requires to:
- automatically identify them from
- automatically wrap .dll .so files in jar files
Q: what about jar files that are architecture dependent?
In maven 1 it was possible to attach some properties to the dependencies. But
we cannot use that anymore.
We could
1- mark the dependencies in the pom using the correct <type> in the pom. E.g.
<type>dll</type>
2- make the plugin automatically wrap the native dependency inside a jar.
3- automatically fill up the <nativelib> elements using some sort of filter
mecanism
<resources os="Windows">
$allDependencies.filter("dll")
</resources>
??
$dependencies would implicitly map to $allDependencies.filter("jar") for
backward compatibility.
Better: the filter() argument might be a JDK 1.4 regex matching a dependency
notation. That way we solve the architecture issue (we can match names, types,
etc..)
That's just one idea. We can perhaps do better? Let me know how you see it.
