Joxy Look and Feel / Bugs / #22 libjoxy.so is not working...

Thom Castermans - 2014-03-22

Hi Jose,

First of all, I'm very sorry to hear that native text rendering does not work for you. If something is wrong or missing in the documentation, I will of course fix that immediately.

I am running Debian myself, 64 bit as well, but version Jessie/Sid. Anyway, I should be able to reproduce your problem and help you very well :-)

It should not be necessary to put the libjoxy.so file in two places, I would advise to stick to only having it in /usr/lib/jni. Still, it should not be a problem to have it in two places anyway. Can I ask you: did you compile the library yourself (see here), or did you use a downloaded version? If so, what is the output of the compile.sh script?

Thanks in advance,
Thom

No compilation I downloaded the zip file "joxy-latest", and well, it seems that everything is broken because the file in /etc/java-6-openjdk/swing.properties has no effect in any java applications, I have to run them wit the -Dswing parameter and the font rendering library is just in my harddrive for nothing...

but no every app works with your laf... I use openproj, no matter what I put in commandline it still shows its terrible appereance... son do I need java 7?

Hi Jose,

Thanks for your answer. Could you please save the following script in a directory where you can create files and run it (either making it executable or by executing

bash howYouCalledTheScript.sh

#!/bin/bash

NAME=`basename "$0"`
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd "$DIR"

cat <<EOF > "ListPlafs.java"
import javax.swing.UIManager;

public class ListPlafs {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println("-- INSTALLED LOOK & FEELS --");
    UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo plaf[] = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
    for (int i = 0, n = plaf.length; i < n; i++) {
      System.out.println("Name: " + plaf[i].getName());
      System.out.println("  Class name: " + plaf[i].getClassName());
    }

    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("-- JOXY LOOK & FEEL --");
    try {
      Class.forName("joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel");
      System.out.println("Joxy can be found on the classpath.");
    } catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
      System.out.println("Could NOT find Joxy!");
    }

    System.exit(0);
  }
}
EOF

echo "$NAME: Comiling Java source..."
javac "ListPlafs.java"
java "ListPlafs"
echo "$NAME: Cleaning up..."
rm "ListPlafs.java" "ListPlafs.class"

On my system, where Joxy is installed and actually works, I get the following output (note that Joxy is not listed in the installed look & feels).

listJavaLAFs.sh: Comiling Java source...

You do not need Java 7 to run Joxy, it should work perfectly fine with Java 6. However, I tried to test Joxy on openproj and it gave me an error message saying that it does not work with the OpenJDK, only with the Sun Java implementation. Could you please post back the output of running

dpkg -l | grep jdk

? Have you installed Java in some non-standard way? Neither me nor Willem, the co-author of Joxy, have the Sun Java implementation installed, so we did never test if Joxy works. It should work the same there though.

Hello!

here's the output:

/script.sh
script.sh: Comiling Java source...
-- INSTALLED LOOK & FEELS --
Name: Joxy
  Class name: joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel

-- JOXY LOOK & FEEL --
Joxy can be found on the classpath.
script.sh: Cleaning up...

I installed openjdk-6 from official Debian wheezy packages:

dpkg -l | grep jdk
ii  openjdk-6-jdk:amd64 6b27-1.12.6-1~deb7u1 amd64 OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK)
ii  openjdk-6-jre:amd64 6b27-1.12.6-1~deb7u1 amd64 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT
ii  openjdk-6-jre-headless:amd64 6b27-1.12.6-1~deb7u1 amd64 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT (headless)
ii  openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b27-1.12.6-1~deb7u1 all OpenJDK Java runtime (architecture independent libraries)

Thank you for your help!

Hi Jose,

Thanks for cooperating so much, it really helps (also for other users of course) ;-)

I'm a bit confused by the fact that Joxy seems to be the only LAF that is installed according to Java... The Metal LAF is built-in and should hence always be installed. This can however be 'overridden' in the swing.properties file. Could you please post the contents of that file on your system here? On my system, it can be found in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib (and in the according Java 7 directory, but you have Java 6 on your machine :-)).

My swing.properties file looks like this:

swing.defaultlaf=joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel swing.systemlaf=joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel swing.installedlafs=metal,nimbus,motif,gtk,joxy swing.installedlaf.metal.name=Metal swing.installedlaf.metal.class=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.nimbus.name=Nimbus swing.installedlaf.nimbus.class=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.motif.name=CDE/Motif swing.installedlaf.motif.class=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.gtk.name=GTK+ swing.installedlaf.gtk.class=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.joxy.name=Joxy swing.installedlaf.joxy.class=joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel

Also: if you have the OpenJDK installed, how come that you are able to run openproj? Did you do something special for that? I would really like to test Joxy on openproj myself, but as I wrote before, it complains about not having the correct Java implementation for some (stupid, IMHO) reason.

Cheers,
Thom
