windows_natives.jar

Troubleshooting General Help
1

I’m currently playing around with JME-in-a-jar. Everything works fine, I am trying out how small I can get the jars.



Windows only:

This example takes 2.8 mb without textures, including jme, LWJGL and windows natives. I extracted windows-natives.jar from the natives.jar. This saves over 2 mb download for the linux and mac native binaries.

Has anybody created a method for automatically loading the correct native jar for the client OS?

I know this can be done by CGI by looking at the user-agent string, but can it be done by JavaScript, too?

Cheers,

Martin

If you're planning to use webstart than I beleive that can be defined in the jnlp file that way.

OK, I wrote some JavaScript:


script>

function getNativesJar() {
    if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Win') != -1) {
        return "windows_natives.jar";
    }
    else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') != -1) {
        return "macosx_natives.jar";
    }
    else {
        return "linux_natives.jar";
    }
}

var appletstr='<applet code="de.flowdev.applettest.AppletMyTest" archive="';
appletstr += getNativesJar();
appletstr += ',lwjgl_util_applet.jar,lwjgl.jar,sjme.jar,sapp.jar" width="800" height="600">'

document.write(appletstr);

</script>



BTW: IE7 complains about all java applets now? I get a blocker bar complaining about activeX and scripts being blocked. wtf? Only because ActiveX is shitty, doesn't mean Java is, too!
I can only test this with windows, could someone on a mac and linux box test this?

Didn't notice you were talking about an applet.  :wink:

I just ran in Linux, took a bit to load but ran fine. got about 124fps w/ radeon x1400 laptop card

Tried in windows and got a class version error.  Might be targetted only to java 1.6?

right, it was 1.6. Didn't think of that… fixed.
