Beryl and Java

caved · 2006-11-24 14:30:49

Lo guys,
Not sure if someone mentioned this but Beryl + Java will create windows without buttons, what i did was install blackdown java from AUR and then installed the java apps (got Limewire working but i bet Jacman will to)

When you DL the PKGBUILDS for the java apps you offcause goto remove the jre dep from the file, anyway hope this helps.

Interesting result.

Let us know how you get on with Jacman+Beryl.

Hi there,

To tell you what you probebly already know Jacman won't run with blackdown jre and Beryl, it fails with following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: andyr/jacman/Jacman (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

With the normal jre one gets atleast a window ehe
I hope this will help you fix the problem as i like Jacman.

I'm guessing that's because Jacman uses features in Java that are not supported in Blackdown. Bugger.

I had this 'empty window' issue with some Java apps and Beryl on an Ubuntu machine. What solved the problem there was

export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

Haven't tried this in Arch though.

Hi dwight,

thank you very much, setting AWT_Toolkit does the trick. All the java apps that didn't work, seem to run now with beryl...

Thank you for this "trick", it works great.
I already wanted to give up Jacman because it didn't seem to work. I think, it's the best frontend for pacman available right now (thanks at the "maker")...
