Description timdudgeon 2006-05-11 10:03:14 UTC 
The "Build JNLP Application" task does not allow native libraries to be
specified as part of jnlp descriptor. Currently including the external browser
module casues the build to fail as the .dll fiels are not specified in the list
of jnlp.verify.excludes

The native libraries need to be packed into jars and incorporated into the jnlp
file.
I have raised an issue (#76196 ) with the nbbuild module to provide this ability.
Comment 1 Tomasz Slota 2006-07-20 13:23:06 UTC 
This request for feature does not belong to the "external browser" module.
Comment 2 Peter Pis 2008-08-22 08:00:27 UTC 
Reassigning to "javawebstart".
Comment 3 _ gtzabari 2009-07-02 06:26:42 UTC 
Wouldn't it be sufficient to let "extension resources" flag each row as native or not? We could then use Ant to build
the JAR file containing the native libraries in a custom task. Editing the JNLP through Ant is not nearly as simple.
Comment 4 _ gtzabari 2009-07-02 06:52:55 UTC 
My mistake, I misunderstood what extension resources are.

One thing you can do is specify a static foo.jnlp as an extension JNLP, then inside foo.jnlp specify <nativelib> that
points to your native libraries.

Changing the default component owner to tzezula.
