Re: [platform-swt-dev] swt on solaris(x86)

Here are some additional notes about the Solaris port which come from the developer who worked on it:

"On Solaris, the user should install the Java SDK and not just the JRE.
The JRE does not contain the shared libraries needed for debugging and
should the user attempt to debug a Java module (or the workbench) a strange
message was output. I logged this problem under http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1613."

"You should not have to copy in the xmp icon
files to recompile the launcher. On Windows, the icons are built into the
executable as a resource, but on Linux and UNIX, this doesn't happen. The
icons are referenced directly when a desktop icon (shortcut) is defined on
Linux. On Solaris, I copied the 4 ".pm" icon files into
"/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C" and then used the CDE desktop tool to create a
new action. During the creation of the action, I selected the Eclipse icons
to be associated with the action."

Existing bug reports for Solaris are:

Bonjour,

  Not sure if this is the right mailing list, if not pointers/links
appreciated.

  Is there a port of swt or eclipse to Solaris(x86) ?
Is someone working on this now?  CVS shows libswt-cde.so
But the download page only point to Linux-motif and Windows.

Thanks.
