Unable to get an initially maximized HostFrame in DesktopApplicationContext due
to bug in Java 6 under ubuntu/linux
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-781
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-781
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.0
Environment: Ubuntu 11.04 (2.6.38-10-generic), java-6-sun-1.6.0.26
Reporter: Tomas Stenlund
Priority: Minor
When using --maximized=true when starting a desktop application with
DesktopApplicationContext.main(class, args) under the environment described. It
works under Windows 7.
Chris Bartlet found out that there is a Java bug for this issue
(setExtendedState in DesktopApplicationContext) and suggested a workaround
(calling it twice, once before and once after if not already in that state)
before Java 7 is established. It seems it will not be fixed for Java 6 by sun
(oracle).
Mail conversation excerpt included below:
----8<----------8<-------------8<----------------8<------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-------------8<------------
Java bug 6365898 - fixed in Java 7
http://download.java.net/jdk7/changes/jdk7-b14.html
This looks like it should be the right URL, but it is not bringing anything up
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6365898
Google has it cached though
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abugs.sun.com+6365898
If the workaround is as simple as it seems to be, then I think it
would be worth including along with a reference to the bug and a TODO
to remove it once Java 7 is more established, or if Pivot later
requires Java 7.
