Hi, II have a list of Java applications which I'm used to using on my standard Linux desktop however I've recently purchased a PowerMac G4 and have managed to compile OpenJDK7 against the platform (using bsd-port). Great... however no GUI apps run correctly. I start of by getting a HeadlessException and after a bit of reading I've added the Djava.awt.false=false property when running the JVM.
Now applications boot into a GUI correctly and I can browse through the menu items etc, however the one thing which doesn't work is keyboard input (most likely as a result of the headless switch I imagine). When I try to type no text appears and instead the output is either directed at the console or does not appear at all. Could somebody please help me understand what is happening and perhaps suggest any way of avoiding this issue? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in the code if it comes to that but I'd appreciate a starting point! Kind Regards, JLove
