| == How to mix lightweight (Swing) and heavyweight (AWT) components? |
| |
| Since JDK 6 update 12 and JDK 7, support for mixing of AWT (heavyweight, native widgets) and Swing (lightweight, pure Java widgets) is available and usually works quite well. However, placing a native AWT Component within a Swing container hierarchy with customizations may cause unwanted side-effects and can therefor be disabled. |
| |
| As of NetBeans 7.3, an additional option has been added to |
| etc/netbeans.conf to disable mixing by default: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| -J-Dsun.awt.disableMixing=true |
| ---- |
| |
| In some cases, such as displaying OpenGL content via JOGL, it may be necessary to add a native component to a NetBeans TopComponent. In that case, the default setting breaks usability of the platform application by incorrectly drawing menus and other lightweight components behind the native component. To re-enable the mixing, the above option needs to be set to false: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| -J-Dsun.awt.disableMixing=false |
| ---- |
| |
| For reference, see link:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/tsg/TSG-Desktop/html/awt.html[Oracle Notes on AWT] |

| Applies to: NetBeans 7.3 and above |
