Hi All,
The fix is very simple and has been in JDK8 repo for 10 months by now. I
think we can safely backport it to a 7 update release.
Denis: could you please send an approval request to jdk7u-dev@ for this
fix, and then push it to the repo? You can find the review thread in
this mailing list's archive.
Felix: OpenJDK 6 is not the best example here. Starting from OpenJDK 7,
OracleJDK uses exactly the same sources as OpenJDK. So for the most part
they are essentially the same products. However, there are still some
minor differences present, mostly in implementation. E.g. OracleJDK
provides a proprietary font rasterizer whereas OpenJDK relies on the
freetype library for this purpose. Also, OracleJDK includes a deployment
stack to support applet and webstart applications. This code is not
open-sourced currently, but AFAIK the OpenJDK community have their own
alternative implementations for these features.

Hi Felix,
Hi Denis!

Is it true that OpenJDK and Oracle JDK have the same source code (minus
some closed source components in the oracle jdk)? How come that
OpenJDK<x> is sometimes uncompatible to JDK<x>? (I remember having
experienced a freemind bug only on OpenJDK, but that was OpenJDK_6_).

"Affected Versions" means that the problem exists in thespecified
releases. Fixes are not necessarily back-ported in previous releases.
So I have to wait a few years till most of our users are using Java8
(JDK8, OpenJDK8)?
I'd like to replace the JFileChooser (Swing) by java.awt.FileDialog on
Linux because JFileChooser does not provide access to things like
network shares and USB sticks (without navigating to a distro dependent
location like /mnt/xxx or /media/xxx). The GTK L&F even provides a
really bad GTK1 file chooser lookalike.
The problem was discussed here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10597831/improving-jfilechooser-under-ubuntu-12-04-gtk
Is there a better solution than java.awt.FileDialog and working around
that bug?
Thanks! Best Regards,
