James Sawle commented on LANG-821:
----------------------------------
Whilst adding the Mac OS X versions would be relatively trivial; I wonder if a
more longer term solution would be worthwhile.
>From personal experience, it has been useful to have an enum of OS systems,
>versions, families and architectures to help set up various parts of
>applications (as we all know, the JVM can't abstract everything). Building
>this into the library could therefore be useful for other people building
>applications that rely on OS level resources.
Whilst the current methods would not be as efficient, if they were to rely on
the enums; new more powerful methods, such as is the system between these two
OS versions, could be provided and allow for a more generic set of methods.
Would be interested in what people think, and I apologise if that didn't make
much sense.
