Java and compiz issue

Posted by gtrev on Sab, 28/07/2007 - 09:41 in

As you may know, I've installed compiz on my linux box, and I feel very comfortable with it.

But sometimes I stumble on some weird problems when using java applications like Netbeans.

The problem is that windows don't dispose very well, all that you see is a gray screen with nothing on it.

This seems to be a well known issue (see bug 6429775) on jdk:

the problem is that AWT filters out all ConfigureNotify if the toplevel is not reparented.
But Compiz doesn't reparent windows at all.
Possible solution would be detect if we are under Compiz and do not filter events

from the discussion on bug 6429775

There is a patch in new releases of jvm, so if you experience this problem, try to upgrade to sun jdk 1.6.0 u02.

Thanks Andrea. Last time I tried Compiz I had exactly this problem. Next time I'll try a more recent JDK.
