Method Detail

### isMacintosh

    public static boolean isMacintosh()

  Determines if we're running on a Macintosh, so appropriate UI adjustments can be made. In accordance with Apple's recommendations, this checks for the existence of the mrj.version property rather than checking the os.name property.

### fileHasType

    public static boolean fileHasType(java.io.File file,
                                      java.lang.String type)
                               throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

  Returns true if a file has the given file type. This method uses FileManager in a dynamic way, so that it will merely throw a ClassNotFound exception if it fails. Currently this code isn't actually used, since the Jhove application is specified as checking only internal signatures. Should some future version or add-on code wish to use it, the code should look something like this: `

                 try {
                     if (sig.getType() == SignatureType.FILETYPE &&
                             MacStuff.isMacintosh ()) {
                         if (!MacStuff.fileHasType(file, sig.getValueString())) {
                             info.setConsistent (false);
                         }
                     }
                 }
                 catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                     // Mac classes missing -- can't check filetype.
                 }

  `

  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException`
