how can I develop Apple Java Extensions on Windows?

eclipse, java, macos

Solution

I created an updated jar to solve this problem. GitHub source here. It's hosted on maven central

Problem

When I do multi-platform testing on Windows it gets annoying that Eclipse shows errors in the project because of the com.apple.eawt code that I have in a special Mac customization task. Worse yet, if I export a runnable jar on Windows, it won't run on mac because of the unresolved compilation problems. What's the best way to let Windows Java and com.apple.eawt live in peace? I can't see how I would be able to spin off the code to a jar, since it requires access to lots of the program's state.
