public class Platform

extends java.lang.Object

The Platform class is where I collect all platform specific APIs for things like end-of-line character and file lastModified methods... At some point, parts of this may need to be implemented in native code

Field Summary

static java.lang.String

ONWINDOWSPROP You can set this system property on (any value will do) if you want to force the Platform class to use Win32 access to file properties and ConnectionManager.ini file.

Constructor Summary

Platform()
Deprecated.

Method Detail

isWin32

public static boolean isWin32()

Determines whether or not we are running on a Win32 computer. Currently, this is determined from the operating system name. To force the SDK to use Win32 behaviors, set the "onwin32" system property (e.g., -Donwin32=y).

Returns:

true if running under Win32.

isDotNET

public static boolean isDotNET()

Determines whether or not we are running in a .NET environment.

Returns:

true if we are running in a .NET environment.

getOSName

public static java.lang.String getOSName()

Gets a descriptive name for the operating system.

Returns:

A descriptive name for the operating system.

getWSOptions

public static final java.lang.String getEOL()

Return the end of line convention.

getFilePathDelim

public static final java.lang.String getFilePathDelim()

Return file name path delimiter.
