Hello AWT team,
Please review fix
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~azvegint/jdk/8/8029263/webrev.00/
for
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029263
This issue can be observed on Solaris 11 (sparcv9 or x86_64).
gtk_show_uri() documentation[1] says:
The uri must be of a form understood by GIO (i.e. you need to install
gvfs to get support for uri schemes such as http:// or ftp://, as only
local files are handled by GIO itself).
However it looks like that Solaris 11 supports gvfs for 32-bit
applications only by default. gtk_show_uri() returns "Operation not
supported" error message for 64-bit applications
for schemes other than file://.
Since b110 we don't have 32-bit JDK for Solaris anymore, so in most
cases only an OPEN action is available(file://).
Currently I am unable to find any robust way to determine do we have
full gvfs support to handle URIs like mail:, http:// or not.
We can use g_vfs_get_supported_uri_schemes()[2] and assume that we have
full gvfs support if http:// scheme is present.
But this function depends on a DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
variable, which can be stripped off in some tests
(in this case only file:// scheme will be returned).
Old gnome_url_show() will not work too due to lack of 64-bit
libgnomevfs-2.0 library.
