 Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:43 am Post subject: java jcontrol GTKLookAndFeel (SOLVED) |
 |
|
My ~/.bashrc has the following export;
$HOME/.bashrc
| Code: | | export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' |
A. If I run jcontrol from a terminal
| Code: | # /opt/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.5/jre/bin/jcontrol
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel |
jcontrol runs with with the GTKLookAndFeel :-)
B. If i run jcontrol from my openbox menu;
| Code: | $HOME/.config/openbox/menu.xml (snippet)
<item label="Java-jdk"><action name="Execute"><execute>/opt/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.5/jre/bin/jcontrol</execute></action></item> |
the GTKLookAndFeel is ignored and it defaults to uglyfugly :-(
=======
SOLUTION
=======
| Code: | # /etc/profile

Because only bash-based terminals are able to give the .bashrc content?
Also, I think, you can put a command like "Terminal -x 'jcontrol'" to the your Openbox menu. |

From my original question..
If I call jcontrol from a terminal GTKLookandFeel works
If I call jcontrol from an execute command in an openbox menu.xml; GTKLookandFeel fails to work
| Code: | $HOME/.config/openbox/menu.xml (snippet)
<item label="Java-jdk"><action name="Execute"><execute>/opt/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.5/jre/bin/jcontrol</execute></action></item>
<item label="Java-jdk"><action name="Execute"><execute>gnome-terminal -x jcontrol</execute></action></item>
<item label="Java-jdk"><action name="Execute"><execute>xterm -x jcontrol</execute></action></item>
<item label="Java-jdk"><action name="Execute"><execute>jcontrol</execute></action></item> |
It doen't matter how it is called, it just fails to pick up the java options set in bashrc...
So my question is still why this should happen. I'd like to understand the issue involved. It's not just about using jcontrol... |

No! I think "xterm -e jcontrol" would be better. |

[-x => -e] agreed. The actual question is unchanged:
WHY are these two calls producing different results?
# xterm -e jcontrol ==> gtklookandfeel :-)
menu.xml :: <execute>xterm -e jcontrol</execute> ==> gtklookandfeel :-( |
