Description _ gtzabari 2003-02-15 23:06:50 UTC
Hi,

   Over the past months we've been adding
OS/2-specific tweaks to make Netbeans run on OS/2
using IBM's JDK. Recently, there 3rd-party support
has been added for Sun JDK 1.4.1 ported to OS/2.

   What we need to do now is scan the entire
Netbeans code for OS/2-specific patches and verify
that they still make sense. Specifically, I know
there are some patches out there that are invoked
if OS/2 is detected but they are really meant to
work against IBM's JDK. We need to reclassify
these fixes against IBM's JDK, OS/2 or both of
them together; otherwise I forsee a whole new slew
of bug reports when people start using Sun's JDK
under OS/2.

   Scanning for this should be rather easy. I
believe you have some sort of constant for
OS/2-specific patches. Can we scan for it?

Thanks,
Gili

David K. was playing with PMD. He is probably able to answer this
question.
Comment 2 David Konecny 2003-02-17 14:12:18 UTC
PMD is not relevant to this.

I asked around and guys doing some OS2 specific changes do not
remember adding any special tags to source code. Still it might worth
to ask on nbdev. There exist constant
org.openide.util.Utilities.OS_OS2 which could be grepped for, but I do
not know how successfull it will be. I would try to also search for
all fixed issues filed for OS2 OS and ask the guy who fixed it.

I do not know what to do with this task now, but it is not defect. It
can be TASK, but I'm not sure who should work on it.

Yours to drive I guess...
Comment 4 _ gtzabari 2003-06-03 16:04:25 UTC
Added dependency on issue 34124.

We're fairly close (85%) to getting identical behavior under OS/2 and
Windows.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2003-06-03 16:41:38 UTC
Marking UMBRELLA under the assumption that specific problems found +
patched will be filed as separate issues given in the dependency list
of this issue.
Comment 6 _ gtzabari 2003-12-18 16:34:12 UTC
I'm actually no longer the official Netbeans under OS/2 supporter.
Unless someone else is willing to drive this issue, please close as
WON'T FIX. Sorry :(
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2003-12-18 18:11:29 UTC
OK, waiting for an owner.
Comment 8 Jaroslav Tulach 2004-07-27 13:27:51 UTC
Closing as suggested.
Comment 9 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 16:02:28 UTC
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
