NetBeans 6.8 create another applet

[iniweb]

I added NetBeans 6.8 to docky, but when i launch the program he create new icon in dock. Example in attachment.

[Marcus Carlson (0-launchpad-mejlamej-nu)]

I can confirm this as well. All I get is a question mark for Netbeans (and other java apps). Revision 1025.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Please attach the .desktop file for netbeans.

Also please run 'ps -ef | grep netbeans' (or whatever string matches the executable) and show us a list of the running netbeans process(es).

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

This will require remaps, which we have not implemented yet.

[Mrooney-i (mrooney-i)]

Hello, thanks for the wonderful IDE!

One issue however is that NetBeans does not provide a useful WM_CLASS property on Linux, which docks and other tools use to match processes to windows. You can test this by running something like "xprop | grep WM_CLASS", which will turn your cursor into a cross, waiting for a click on a window, such as NetBeans:

$ xprop | grep WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer", "java-lang-Thread"

so, it is only possible to know that the window is a Java app, but not that it matches the process "nbexec" for example.

Here are some examples of well-behaved applications:

Chromium: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "chromium-browser", "Chromium-browser"
Firefox: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Firefox"
Thunderbird: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Mail", "Thunderbird"
Pidgin: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Pidgin", "Pidgin"

So, if NetBeans provided an accurate WM_CLASS xprop, it would be very helpful to many applications across Linux desktops!

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

I filed and linked the upstream bug for providing a useful WM_CLASS xprop, if someone on the Docky team could review it for accuracy that would be great, thanks!

[Psybers-q (psybers-q)]

One possible approach is as follows:

Toolkit xToolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
java.lang.reflect.Field awtAppClassNameField = xToolkit.getClass().getDeclaredField("awtAppClassName");
awtAppClassNameField.setAccessible(true);
awtAppClassNameField.set(xToolkit, "NetBeans");

Taken from:
http://elliotth.blogspot.com/2007/02/fixing-wmclass-for-your-java.html

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Fixed in rev 1398.

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Alas, this doesn't seem to work for me, after upgrading to the latest
PPA: 2.1.0~bzr1414-0ubuntu1~10.04~dockycore1 and restarting Docky. Also, a
find for remaps.ini doesn't turn up anything, is that getting shipped
somewhere that I can edit it?

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

The remaps.ini should be in /usr/share/docky/remaps.ini.

Regardless, you can make a user-specific one at ~/.local/share/docky/remaps.ini and for netbeans you want a remap of:

nbexec=netbeans

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Oh I should note that I did not actually test this for Netbeans, only for Picasa. So this (and the deja dup bug) were just assumed to work, based on the information posted on the bug reports and the fact I know remaps are working.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Ok Mr Rooney. You forced me to install NetBeans, for which I am not happy! ;-)

It appears for me anyway the problem is that nb doesnt set the _NET_WM_PID propery on the window. If it did that, like almost every other X app does... then it would work with the existing remap.

The other option is to get them to set a WM_CLASS that would allow us to hack around it similar to other Java apps.

So to summarize, I have done everything I possibly can. It is now up to nb developers.

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Okay, thanks for trying! I am very sad that they have thus far ignored the
bug report to which you contributed a code sample.

[Javier (javiersmail)]

Hi!

I also have the duplicate icon on netbeans. Hope the netbeans dev team solve it.

Another app that have two icons is blender.

Thanks for your efforts!

[helder.silva (skandals)]

Still happens in Netbeans 7.0 M2 :(

[Alexandre Rosenfeld (airmind)]

Just a remark, on Docky 2.0.8, I added "StartupWMClass=java-lang-Thread" to the Netbeans .desktop file and it was working fine, Docky correctly identified the Netbeans window.
However, I upgraded Docky to 2.1.0 (to fix a Thunderbird issue) and now it doesn't identify anymore, even with StartupWMClass.
I know this depends on NB developers, but something changed between 2.0.8 and 2.1.0 that made this matter worse, is there anyway to get the old behavior back?

[Marcus Carlson (0-launchpad-mejlamej-nu)]

I think that if the things Lennart are hoping for, things will be much easier for us;

"I also tried to talk Andreas Grünbacher into supporting file system user extended attributes in various virtual file systems such as procfs, cgroupfs, sysfs and tmpfs. I hope I convinced him that this would be a good idea, since this would allow setting externally accessible attributes to all kinds of kernel objects, such as processes and devices. This would not only have uses in systemd (where we could easily store all meta information systemd needs to know about a service in the cgroupfs via xattrs, so that systemd could even crash or go away at any time and we still can read all runtime information necessary beyond mere cgrouping from the file system when systemd comes to live again) but also in the desktop environments, so that we could for example attach the human readable application name, an icon or a desktop file to the processes currently running, in a simple way where the data we attach follows the lifecycle of the process itself."

from http://0pointer.de/blog

[Alexandre Rosenfeld (airmind)]

It is fixed for me using Netbeans 6.9.1 (Sun Java JVM) and Docky 2.1.0 (bzr docky r1703 ppa). Thanks!

[Reinouts-w (reinouts-w)]

Still valid for 7.0RC2 and it's becoming more visible when using Netbeans under Gnome 3.0.
See Gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647437 .

[Vakuumbarn (vakuumbarn)]

This is even more of a problem running multiple applications based on NetBeans platform, like NetBeans, Sql Developer, VisualVm etc at the same time, where all are presented with the same generic name.

[Saubrecht (saubrecht)]

it seems more like JDK issue to me
but if you think there's a workaround (reflection), a patch is welcome

[Vakuumbarn (vakuumbarn)]

Well, I'd agree it should be fixed in the JDK (see previous link to blog post) but in the meantime it's fixable and would be much appreciated. Point me to the "startup" class or main frame or whatever in the source and I'll try to provide you with a a patch.

[Saubrecht (saubrecht)]

waiting for the patch:) (or the JDK fix...)

[Ogj (ogj)]

I think it is not unreasonable to ask for this tiny, little fix, which will improve the netbeans appearance on Gnome3-based Linux platforms.

I think the code in Comment#1 should be enough, at least according to other sources on this subject. However, small as it is, the problem for me would be to dive into the netbeans sources. I really have no clue where to start. I'm assuming it would be quite simple for anyone familiar with the source to stick this in at some appropriate place.

Btw, the JDK bug is http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6528430, please do vote for that as well. It is from feb 2007, though, with a very low priority. And besides, it will need changes in netbeans sources anyway. I would not hold my breath for this.

Thanks.

[Jglick (jglick)]

I consider this P2 since it is so obviously wrong when you run NB under GNOME 3: "java-lang-Thread" is displayed prominently at the top of the screen when NB is fronted.

This bug also makes it impossible to create a proper *.desktop file, since you need to set the StartupWMClass property to something NB-specific.

That's good news -- does it also work with switching between multiple open Netbeans windows (dialogs, etc.) with Alt+` ?

Yes.

(Note that if you use the AlternateTab shell extension it would not matter anyway, since that operates just by title, not WM class.)

core-main 5832261b8434

Thanks for the patch, Jesse!

[Jglick (jglick)]

Is this 71patch3-candidate? Bug symptom does not seriously interfere with IDE unusability but it looks terrible in GNOME 3 - one of the first things you notice when starting the IDE.

[Jglick (jglick)]

BTW there seems to be no particularly good way in the NB Platform to get a general-purpose "application name invariant across versions". In this patch I just use CTL_MainWindow_Title_No_Project with the build number stripped off (*); org.netbeans.modules.keyring.gnome.GnomeProvider does pretty much the same for purposes of the GTK call g_set_application_name. It is not ideal since some version information remains (**) - "NetBeans IDE Dev" or "NetBeans IDE 7.2" or whatever. For Platform apps the problem may or may not exist, depending on whether the developer tries to put variable information in the "Application Title" branding field.

(*) A minor I18N violation in principle but unlikely to ever matter, since the known values of this key either do not use the {0} param at all, or use it only as a suffix " {0}".

(**) Which is why kde.KWalletProvider.getApplicationName hardcodes the name (bug #200657), though in that case hardcoding is actually best since we would prefer to use the same wallet across all NB-based apps.

I expect Tomas tested 7.1.2 + patch3 as we were testing it today ...

No, I think it was made after Beta was branched. Check dev builds.

OK, sorry, I was confused by the previous comments about it being included only in 7.1.2 + patch 3. I was looking for a fix for the double launcher icon problem, and I thought this was it, but Netbeans 7.2 still has a double icon by default.

I now included the following line in my netbeans-7.2.desktop file:
StartupWMClass=NetBeans IDE 7.2

That solves the double icon problem. I think the installer should have done this automatically, but I guess that is a separate issue...

Anyway, thanks for fixing this property!
