High,
I just gave the Inprise JDK and JBuilder a try. Nice-looking stuff, especially
the debugger is just great. Nevertheless, I'll stay with Emacs and makefiles
and cvs...
Ok. However, I noticed that JBuilder (the IDE itself) does not in any way have
problems with its windows under WindowMaker. However, if I create simple test
programms (not using JBuilder, but plain old JDK) just creating JDialogs or
JFrames, I get everything from missing frame borders/WindowMaker buttons up to
complete lockups of WindowMaker (!). Just as it has always been the case with
Blackdown JDK 1.2 (all versions, including 1.2.2 RC3). These problems have, as
far as I know, already been reported in detail against Blackdown Jitterbug and
Sun's JDC buglist.
I think I read on the JDC buglist that this is a more or less known problem in
Sun's code (communication with the X window manager), so it's no wonder that
it happens with all Linux 1.2.x ports, since the porters are not allowed to
change that stuff. BUT - how can it be explained that JBuilder itself does not
have these problems? Is it not using Swing for its frame windows?
Can anybody speculate on this? I would love to use JDK 1.2 finally (be it
Inprise or Blackdown, never mind), but I cannot do so since it crashes systems
when using JFrame/JDialog with certain window managers.
MbG, Ekkehard
