Agreed. I seem to remember (this was a while ago now) that I found isAMacAndNotJS() and thought it might be an important distinction. Sounds like it's just redundant? Can tidy this another time then.

Agree this is just touching on a much bigger task.
However...
The reason I /needed/ to do this rather than just /wanted/ to do this is that several of the classes I've been working on (e.g. jalview.bin.Launcher, jalview.bin.HiDPISetting, jalview.bin.MemorySetting) run very early on (especially jalview.bin.Launcher!). This means Cache.log has perhaps not yet been initialised, so a Cache.log.debug doesn't log (unless you count reams of NullPointerExceptions as logging!).

In the case of HiDPISetting and MemorySetting that also get used in Getdown, where there is no jalview.bin.Cache, they currently have to use System.out and System.err [or maybe I could stub jalview.bin.Cache too]. I'd prefer them to use Cache.log when they can so this is an attempt at starting to decouple jalview.bin.Cache from other jalview things so it can be used standalone within Getdown. The main reason for wanting to do that is to have shared code to read the preferences between Jalview and Getdown.

I think there are lots of things that could be tidied up (particularly the overloading and additional logging functions via Cache which don't really reduce code at point of use, but are certainly useful in spirit), but now is most definitely not the time to optimise and beautify code.

Ben Soares as far as I can see the only thing missing after this branch is merged to develop is this logic. I just did a quick test and it appears 'Platform.isAMac()' returns false under JalviewJS, so probably not a dealbreaker. Do you agree ?

JAL-3718 Added digestonly key to getdown.txt to copy file to alt or release when building, and to be included in the getdown digest. This key is completely ignored by the getdown-launcher. Looks in j8/j11digestonly.
