Hi all, I'm a J2EE Developer, and an amateur system admin. I absolutely love Fedora Directory, and I'd like to attempt to port the console to Mac and create a simple install DMG. I read on the requirements that a Sun JDK is required. Has anyone successfully run on an OS X jdk. Is it even possible, or does it require linux specific gtk libraries in java?
Thanks, Todd

No, IBM should work as well. Others work too (e.g. the console works on HP-UX using the HP provided JRE).

It does not depend on specific gtk libraries. The GUI uses the Swing toolkit which, as far as the console code is concerned, is platform independent.
So it might just work with the OSX jre.

I think you'll have no problem with the main Console jars. I think I've been able to at least launch the Console up on OS X a long time ago, but things have changed with the Console since then, so it might just be easier now. You can likely just copy the jars over from a Linux system.
In order to use any feature which requires crypto (SSL, importing certificates, etc.) in the Console, you will need to build JSS, which has a JNI library. It will require you to compile NSS and NSPR as well. All of these components have been ported to OS X previously, so it should be quite doable.
