Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST : Please include an appropriate javaw.exe.manifest file in every (Windows) JDK or JRE directory which contains javaw.exe. This is needed in order to enable Java applications using native Windows controls via JNI (e.g. SWT, Eclipse) to have their widgets styled with the correct XP look. For details, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/userex/cookbook.asp See also: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45918 JUSTIFICATION : Without these manifest files being part of a standard JDK/JRE install, app developers have to either write special code to find all affected */bin directories and create/copy the files there themselves or instruct their users how to do so. Both workarounds are cumbersome and employing them may not always be possible. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - The VM (javaw.exe) should indicate to the OS that ComCtl32.dll version 6 should be used if it is available. Native widgets should be styled correctly. ACTUAL - Native widgets do not pick up the Windows XP visual styles correctly. ###@###.### 10/13/04 21:23 GMT
