Hi Peter,

The design using enum for the os dependencies does not make it possible to include only the support needed for a particular platform at build time. Every implementation will be carrying around the support for all the other platforms. A build time binding would be more efficient. Roger I think the approach is okay for now [ assuming we find a better name than "Os" :-) ] but if src/solaris is renamed in JDK 9 to src/unix or some such name then it provides an opportunity to re-visit this is that there is a factory per platform in a platform specific tree.
