Tutorial :java jdialog taskbar button

Question:

i'm traying a jdialog on linux, but it still appears in my taskbar. this is the code? what's wrong?

import javax.swing.JDialog;    public class Main {      public static void main(String [] args) {          new mydialog();      }        private static class mydialog extends JDialog {          public mydialog() {              super();              setSize(200,200);              setLocationByPlatform(true);              setAlwaysOnTop(false);              setUndecorated(true);              setVisible(true);          }      }  }

Solution:1

Since this still seems to be an issue in Linux environments I'd like to share my solution for this topic:

I simply had to create the JDialog with an parent Frame/Window like "new JDialog(new JFrame());" and after setting the JDialog to be Visible I call "jframe.revalidate();". Thats it. Looks like Java has a problem communicating correctly with the DisplayManager while initialising the JDialog..

Works for me with Java 1.8.0.45, Linux Mint 17.1, Cinnamon 2.4.8

Solution:2

try replacing setLocationByPlatform(true); with setLocation(10, 10);

Solution:3

You need to use JWindow if you don't want it to appear in the taskbar.

Solution:4

the only solution I found is to switch from Swing interfaces to gtk interfaces, to do this I used java-gnome. the only problem is that you must change all components of the swing classes to the corresponding gtk classes.

Solution:5

Been struggling with this one for some time now. What finally worked for me:

JDialog frame = new JDialog();  frame.setType(javax.swing.JFrame.Type.POPUP);

Alternatively you can try set the type to UTILITY.

Lubuntu 15.04 (LXDE) running Java 1.8.0_25
