Re: java.awt.FileDialog does not work properly bundled but not sandboxed app
Hi, I am not really sure I understand your posting correctly. Are you saying that your impression is that java.awt.FileDialog in mode FileDialog.LOAD does not work properly in an app bundle, regardless of sandboxing? If that is so, then I can confirm that this is not the case. You are not by any chance starting the app with a splash screen with -splash? If so that is likely to be the reason for your problems as java.awt.FileDialog is completely broken then (see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8009203, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8006420). If I understand the feedback of an Oracle dev a few days ago on this list correctly, this is fixed in J9 and will be backported for the next J8 update. We even implemented our own splash screen because of this.

As in: It always assumes a sandbox and does not give me access to all files anymore. It does not matter, if the bundle was signed or not. The bundle was created with https://bitbucket.org/infinitekind/appbundler Note that AppBundler passes in a system property -DSandboxEnabled=true, if it finds *any* Containers folder. Meaning, it's only an indication for whether sandboxing is possible at all, *not* whether this particular app is sandboxed. There is no problem, when launching the same app via the regular java launcher. Does anybody else have this problem? Really, no one else is having problems with this? -hendrik -- Robert Krüger Managing Partner Lesspain GmbH Co. KG www.lesspain-software.com

Using Appbundler and without splash screen I use java.awt.FIleDialog fine ( see http://jthink.net/songkong, and select File/Open Folder ) Paul

Indeed, I was attempting to use the splash screen option.. once I removed it, things were working as expected. Looking forward to the backported fix! -hendrik
