[platform-swt-dev] Examples on Java Web Start file for SWT

[Øyvind Harboe <oyvind.harboe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking for an example/instructions on how to write a JNLP file for SWT and Java Web Start.

I've searched the web, but I didn't find anything obvious.

Anyone got hints?

This is what I've got so far:

xxx_swt.jar - renamed and signed swt.jar for platform
xxx_swt_lib.jar - zipped up all binaries for platform and signed

This works for windows, but I get error messages for Solaris and Linux(still under investigation, but I suspect the first batch to be silly problems because I haven't found a  basic exmaple" to follow :-)

I'm downloading ISO images for RedHat, but I haven't got a Sun machine to test on. I'd like to get it right before I visit someone who has a machine.

Q: Is it correct to put two binaries in a single jar?

(There are some www.serialio.com libraries thrown in there as well).

This is what I've got so far(a bit trimmed down for brevity):
