Sun Denies Open Source Java Imminent > Sun was quick to deny published reports today that it plans to open source Java in the next few months. The company is working on the project, but any transition to open source is closer to a year away. Bugger, but I guess this will give GNU Classpath [...]
Sun Java 1.5 & Compiz / XGL
Seems there’s an assumption in Sun Java 1.5 about window managers which causes it to bug out with Compiz & Xgl. A temporary workaround is: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit or grab Compiz CVS and apply the following patches: — dix/window.c 2006/05/29 18:12:27 1.1 +++ dix/window.c 2006/05/29 18:15:15 @ -1265,8 +1265,12 @ result = EventSelectForWindow(pWin, client, (Mask )*pVlist); [...]
