Aleksey Yeschenko created CASSANDRA-5611:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: OS X puts an icon for Cassandra in the dock
Key: CASSANDRA-5611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5611
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.2.5, 1.1.12, 2.0
Environment: OS X, JKD 1.7
Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko
Priority: Trivial
"Even when a Java program doesn't display any windows or other visible
elements, if it accesses the AWT subsystem in some way (e.g., to do image
processing internally), OS X will still put an icon for the Java program in the
dock as if it were a GUI-based app. (When the program quits, the dock icon goes
away as usual.)"
(more details at http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071208235352641)
Can't remember when it started happening, but it wasn't always the case for
Cassandra. Now launching Cassandra puts an icon in the dock, and, worse,
running ant test put an icon in the dock for each test, stealing focus, too.
This is extremely annoying.
I ninja-d a workaround (-Djava.awt.headless=true) for ant test in
99824496aa359fcbe5e71f4e54f2738f09524a87, but we should try and find the real
source of this (my guess is that some dependency of ours is to blame).
