Hi!
I have an application/bundle that has a GUI. I use pax-runner to launch
equinox and execute that application. If I run pax-runner from the command
line (using pax-run.bat in Windows) and use the "executor=inProcess"
option,
then my application starts up as expected. However, if Iinvoke pax-run.bat
(with "executor=inProcess") as a new process from within a java program
(using ProcessBuilder) the GUI of my application does not pop up. I have
to
kill the launching application for the GUI of my application to pop up.
Moreover, if I do not use the "executor=inProcess" option and execute
pax-run from the command line, then the GUI does not pop up and I have to
press a key for it to pop up (but it becomes irresponsive).
If I launch my application w/o pax-runner (i.e. as a standalone java
application not running inside an osgi container), no matter how I launch
it, it works ok.
The application I mention above is somehow complex, so in order to be sure
that the problem is not with my particular application, but it is a
general
problem of pax-runner + Swing, I wrote a simple program:
public class HelloWorld implements BundleActivator {
public void start(BundleContext c) {
System.out.println("Hello");
...
JPanel authenticationComponents = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 2));
....
JPanel infoPanel = new JPanel();
...
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, new JComponent[] { infoPanel,
authenticationComponents }, "Dialog", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
}
public void stop(BundleContext c) {
System.out.println("Goodbye World");
}
}
If I execute it with pax runner and "executor=inProcess", the HelloWorld
bundle is started and the dialog is shown. However, w/o the
"executor=inProcess" option, the bundleremains in state STARTING and the
dialog is not shown.
Any idea of why this is happening andhow to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Humberto
