Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Add tray support

[Yuedong Du <yue...@su...>]

Hi Mark and all,


My tray icon now working very well in java application. Thanks 
java-gnome developer team!

However, some small problem leaved unresolved.

1.  I use tools/DesProcessor to generate jni/java code. But the 
generated jni default prefix to
    org_gnu_gnome_XXX.   How can I control it? For example, I want to 
prefix them
    to org_gnu_egg.

2.  The function egg_tray_icon_new has parameter of char * , so in my defs:

(define-func egg_tray_icon_new
  EggTrayIcon
  ((string name)))

  The generated java code,  the native interface is defined as:
     ... ...
    native static final protected int egg_tray_icon_new (byte[] name);
     ... ...

   Thus 'String' in defs is convert to 'byte[]' in java.  But I found in 
  some gtk functions, ('string name') in defs is convert to 'String' in java.
  I like this way. But how can I generate 'String' instead of 'byte[]'?








Thanks
Yuedong Du
