Description Martin Ryzl 2002-11-29 16:35:23 UTC 
Based on our discussion:
1) move PlatformInstall to api
2) getVendorString and getJavaSpecVersion should
not be final

java spec version may not be valid for all
platforms. For example, J2SE platforms are
identified by spec version (J2SDK 1.4), while J2ME
platforms are identified by configuration name and
version and profile name and version
(CLDC-1.0, MIDP-1.0)

Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2002-12-04 15:16:35 UTC 
* will make getVendorString() abstract in the API
* will factor out getJavaSpecVersion() into J2SE-specific interface
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2003-04-23 17:03:48 UTC 
The PlatformInstall will be moved into Java Platofrm(JP) SPI.

JavaPlatform will change in the way Svata described above.

The getJavaSpecVersion is a bit harder, it is used also by
PlatformServices.

It would require extension of abstract JavaPlatform by the
method getPlatformType() which returns one of enum {SE, EE, ME}
and the concrete subclasses like SEPlatform, EEPlatform and MEPlatform
will provide additional methods for identification.
The same will be required for PlatformService.

Adding Pavel to cc list due to EE stuff.
