...
/**
* Note: this may be made internal in 3.5
* @return true for windows platforms
* @since 3.5
*/
public static final boolean isWindows() {
final String ws = SWT.getPlatform();
return WS_WIN32.equals(ws) || WS_WPF.equals(ws);
}
/**
* Note: this may be made internal in 3.5
* @return true for mac platforms
* @since 3.5
*/
public static final boolean isMac() {
final String ws = SWT.getPlatform();
return WS_CARBON.equals(ws) || WS_COCOA.equals(ws);
