Java Bindings for libnotify

2010-03-15 Thread Mat Booth
Hi all,

I can't find the Java bindings for libnotify -- I thought they would
be in libgnome-java, but I guess not.

So a couple of questions for the Gnome Desktop team:

And are there plans to package java-gnome?

If not and I were to package it myself, should java-gnome obsolete
libgnome-java?

From the website I get the impression that java-gnome supersedes
libgnome-java entirely.

Thanks for any insight.
Mat

Hi Mat, 
I'm not in the Gnome Desktop team but:
There have been several attempts to package java-gnome. Latest one is pending 
review https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551587 .
Previous one is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438452 .
I think that this is long enough period it hasn't received any attention so 
just go on review it and get it included in fedora.

According to the rhbz#438452 there shouldn't be any conflicts between the old 
one and java-gnome but if there is nothing in Fedora that requires libgnome-
java and doesn't work with the new java-gnome we should obsolete it.

java-gnome 2.* used to be packaged even officially by a Red Hat employee 
as a part of Frysk project. Since then Frysk has been abandoned (or 
whatever is its current official status) and I believe nobody seriously 
touched any java-gnome stuff at all, and nobody seems to require it.

Thanks for the links Alex. The ticket blocks FE-NEEDSPONSOR, so I will
need a promotion first. I have asked on the ticket if he is still
interested in continuing the review.

As Matěj points out, it would seem that Frysk still needs it.

I would would very much like to use java-gnome's libnotify API for a
proprietary app and this got me thinking, why isn't OpenJDK's
java.awt.SystemTray and java.awt.TrayIcon API implemented using
libnotify?

I don't mean to be rude to whoever wrote the current
java.awt.SystemTray and java.awt.TrayIcon implementations for X, but
it isn't at all integrated into the default desktop's look and feel
and presumably looks just as bad in KDE.

frysk is long dead (and who was using it anyway ?), frysk developers
are working on gdb/Archer now.
http://sources.redhat.com/frysk/
I suggest that both frysk and old gnome java wrappers to be dropped
from packages collection.
