Something else? > IDE sources contain launcher sources, and IDE binaries contain launcher binaries (downloaded at build time), as we do now, so no big difference there, I think. The two main questions here are related to stuff against which the lauchers are build and liked: -the launchers include jni.h - I suspected using jni.h from (Open)JDK might be troublesome; but luckily, there is Apache Harmony, and their jni.h works fine (or seems so, at least). So, I've included the jni.h and jni_types.h from Apache Harmony, and the launchers are compiled against them. Given this is under Apache License, Version 2.0, I assume that is OK, right? -the launchers use libstdc++ (and libgcc, when compiled using gcc) and are built using MinGW. Looking at "GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION", this should be OK, right? https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html Thanks, Jan > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org > > For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists > > > >
