Wow, it even supports OSGi: https://github.com/hypfvieh/dbus-java/issues/32 - e.g. it should be possible to include that artifact into NetBeans Runtime Container just like [Mylyn bundles](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/ 25d228fa47e950c777e4115c092ba51f594ca39d/ide/o.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core). Licenses seem fine. It would be great to just a single code that would work on Gnome and KDE. Approach #3 seems fine, if you can get it working. -jt We already have some Unix Socket library: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/ 3c3f8dffec27689949a32bcbe8edca84127e42c9/ide/libs.c.kohlschutter.junixsocket - it would be good to use just a single library for accessing Unix sockets. > > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Laszlo Kishalmi <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 10:04 PM > Subject: Re: master password > To: <[email protected]> > > > Well, if it is Gnome.
