Java Swing and XGL?

[Seine]

G'day

I've recently enabled XGL. Sweet. But this has stopped my otherwise super-performing NetBeans IDE (a Java Swing application) to render as a solid grey box.

Does anyone know of issues/tricks regarding getting Swing apps to render under XGL?

Cheers
Jem

There is a path to the XGL that will fix your problem. I'm trying to mage beryl guys to include it on the edgy repositoy.

I've searched beryl forums and I think I found solution... Edit file /etc/environment and add line

AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"

then reboot... Don't know if it will help with NetBeans, but it helped me in other apps (e.g. JUDE)

Hi, Everyone.
Actually I have the same problem but not about Netbeans.
I am using Eclipse 3.2 to develop a certain swing application, when I'm using Beryl, Eclipse is fine, but my Swing application won't show anything, but that solid gray wall.

And I also tried the /etc/environment thing as mentioned in previous post, but it's still not working for me, (while My Splash Window is OK, using JWindow Class) Is there any further tips?
Thanks in advance.

*PROBLEM SOLVED*
sorry everyone, I forgot to reboot, it works perfect, thanks!!

I installed beryl from deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main and have java6 installed with

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel"

set and beryl and xgl render all my swing applications fine.
