Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5611:
-------------------------------------------
bin/cassandra (with or w/o -f) does not give me a dock icon. Older version of
Java?

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

> OS X puts an icon for Cassandra in the dock
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-5611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5611
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1.12, 1.2.5, 2.0
> Environment: OS X, JDK 1.7
> Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Priority: Trivial
>
> "Even when a Java program doesn't display any windows or other visible
> elements, if it accesses the AWT subsystem in some way (e.g., to do image
> processing internally), OS X will still put an icon for the Java program in
> the dock as if it were a GUI-based app. (When the program quits, the dock
> icon goes away as usual.)"
> (more details at
> http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071208235352641)
> Can't remember when it started happening, but it wasn't always the case for
> Cassandra. Now launching Cassandra puts an icon in the dock, and, worse,
> running ant test puts an icon in the dock for each test, stealing focus, too.
> This is extremely annoying.
> I ninja-d a workaround (-Djava.awt.headless=true) for ant test in
> 99824496aa359fcbe5e71f4e54f2738f09524a87, but we should try and find the real
> source of this (my guess is that some dependency of ours is to blame).
