All major workspace implementations (GNOME, KDE, Unity, but also smaller ones) on Linux are changing this because the current (now legacy) option is based on an X11 specific mechanism and won't be available on Wayland or Mir. The new system, called Status Notifier Icons, is based on a windowing system independent mechanism and can be used on X11 and next generation display systems. Most UI frameworks have kept up with that change, after all they want to stay relevant in the future as well, but it seems Java hasn't or at least not in the version used by Tim's program. Quite a shame given that Java started out as *the* option for cross platform application development, but always lacked platform integration in the default feature set (one of the reasons why so many multiplatform Java applications use Eclipse's SWT instead of SWING). Anyway, for now there are quite some tools capable of providing an XEmbed based "tray area", I think Martin Gräßlin's blog even mentions a couple.

Re: KDE5 Java SystemTray not supported
I had similar problem with "synergy" and have seen reports about other programs. As a work-around I installed "lxpanel", configured it to only show the system-tray, located it so it doesn't interfere with the KDE panel, and made it unobtrusive. Any panel should work, I only used lxpanel because I was familiar with it and it is light-weight. I understand KDE changed the way they handle system-tray items. Either they need to make a way to use the "old method" or all the effected programs will need to adjust to the KDE method. Don't know how that is going to go!

KDE5 Java SystemTray not supported
Hi, I just upgraded to KDE5 on unstable and immediately realized that my Java PBX Client fails to start because SystemTray.isSupported() returns false. I am using openjdk-8 packages. My questions are - is there a known work-around to start such Java apps within KDE5 ? - where should the bug report go, kde or openjdk ? Regards, Tim

Re: Reinstall KDE completely
Thanks folks. The problem is that there is a lot of new config files on .local and .config with kf5 on it, and kde-full only removes what was installed with the metapackage. There are tons of kde5 packages laying around that removing kde-full will not remove. Any ideas?
