for those who arent sure its just a set of boolean's for checking the operating system, i hadnt seen it released so thought it may be handy for those wanting to make their clients more widely compatible

Code:

public class OSValidator {
 
	private static String OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
 

 
	public static boolean isWindows() {
 
		return (OS.indexOf("win") >= 0);
 
	}
 
	public static boolean isMac() {
 
		return (OS.indexOf("mac") >= 0);
 
	}
 
	public static boolean isUnix() {
 
		return (OS.indexOf("nix") >= 0 || OS.indexOf("nux") >= 0 || OS.indexOf("aix") > 0 );
 
	}
 
	public static boolean isSolaris() {
 
		return (OS.indexOf("sunos") >= 0);
 
	}
 
}

Isn't Java already supposed to be multiplatform? I'm not sure you really need to do any system specific programming to get any of the features that are floating around r-s to work on any platform.

yes true, tbh the reason i needed this was an idea i had that would change certain things about the client depending on the platform (mac loading screen)(windows loading screen)(linux loading screen) etc.. got kinda bored of making all the different login screens so i stopped half way through mac thought if anyone had any similar ideas they might appreciate this

Alright, well I'm sure someone will have a use for it.

That's a good idea tbh, you could make it so there is a little Windows icon for Windows users etc.
