Making a javax.comm application portable

All,

I have already read over the 2 or so posts that relay into this question, but I was hoping for a bit clearer answer.

I have made an application with javax.comm to configure devices like Cisco switches. It works great when launched from eclipse in windows.

--How do I bundle it all up into a Jar so that a Mac or Windows user can use it just by click on it.

--Is there any way to store them in the jar and then to tell the program just to look in this folder?

--And lastly, how do you get it to work on OSX?

The library itself requires jni code. And for starters you would need a library specific for Mac that does that.

And jni needs to be available to the OS, not just java.

So at a minimum an installer would be needed.

--And lastly, how do you get it to work on OSX?

By finding an implementatin that supports it. Or writing your own.

Regardless however you still need to test it on all the targets.
