[Pljava-dev] Building PLJava on Solaris issues

Hello,

Our company is working on the project that requires the usage of the PLJava plug-in with
Solaris operating system. So we need this module to be compiled with gcc and working with
Solaris 10. However taking the code from by instructions published on your site does not
produce the native module required. There are several issues encountered during build:
1. Maven tool does not run after install in Solaris, even with simple "mvn -v" version command
2. The native *.so module building is silently ignoring if C/C++ compilers are gcc/g++
3. The java stack size is not enough for building

So we have performed investigation and found a way to build PLJava in Solaris 10 with gcc.
Here is the instructions:
1. Replace default Maven start-up script with attached one to start using Maven in Solaris
10. Based on Maven 3.3.9 version script.
2. Replace default aol.properties in the
.m2/repository/com/github/maven-nar/nar-maven-plugin/3.2.3/nar-maven-plugin-3.2.3.jar with
attached one to be able to use gcc in Solaris 10.
3. Set enough Java stack size:
MAVEN_JAVA_RUN_ENV=-Xss2m
export MAVEN_JAVA_RUN_ENV

These steps will give the building PLJava native libraries in Solaris 10 for x86_64 and
sparc architectures.
