#21 java windows not in windowlist

[Martijn Ras]

Heya Folks,

No windows of java applications appear in the windowlist.

Only way i can switch to them is middle-clicking the
mouse or iconifying/moving other windows.

Mazzel,

Martijn.

I definitely can't reproduce this. I use JBuilder, jpluck, and other java apps
constantly and they all show up properly in my window cycling menu. Can
you add an attachment of a screenshot to help me see what you're looking
at?

Thanks!! =:)

Any application run using "java -jar" doesn't show up in my
window cycling menu.

Take ArgoUML (http://argouml.tigris.org) for instance ...

Yah, that's how I run several java apps, and they show up in bbkeys's
window list properly. I just tried jpluck like this:

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08/bin/java -jar /home/gideon/local/jpluck-2.1.6b/
jpluckx.jar

and it works fine. What version of Java are you using? And please
attach a screenshot of what you see. You can do this by doing a "sleep
5; import -window root screenshot.jpg" from a command line, then doing
an alt-tab (or whatever you have bound to the window cycling menu) so
that it comes up before import takes a screenshot. Also, what locale are
you using? A screenshot should help here, because I believe that even if
you don't see the correct title in bbkeys's window cycling menu, you
should see "Unknown".

Thanks!

Hi,

I have the same problem, it's especially noticeable with "Mercury", the
messenger program. The chat-windows get their own window, but they
don't show up in the bbkeys window list (but they do show up in the
wmctrl -l list in fluxbox 1.0rc2).

Have the same problem here.

found a solution, don't know what other problems may occur,
but it works for me.

edit:
ScreenHandler.cpp Line 724

comment this line out, recompile.
// if (! t->canFocus()) continue;

also compiling with kernel 2.6 headers fails,
use 2.4 headers.

hope this helps, greetings, aksels.

I have same problem, when I run JOSM from http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ (java -jar josm.jar), the JOSM window does not appera in the list I get when I press ALT-TAB

I use fluxbox 1.1.1 with bbkeys 0.9.1, java version 1.6.0_10, running on debian unstable, amd64 architecture.

Commenting the line "if (! t->canFocus()) continue;" as somebody mentioned does help to fix the problem.

There is really nobody taking care of this anymore? I'm addicted to Blackbox. This is the only problem. Should I move to Fluxbox?
