Linux-IDE : use javax.swing.jfilechooser instead of the awt-dialogs #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What change would like to see?
The IDE uses AWT-Dialogs for file-open file-save. Replace these dialogs
with their swing counterparts.

Why?
The look and user experience of the AWT-dialogs does not integrate with any
of the linux desktop themes in use.    

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions? 
No.

Two files attached:
AWT.jpeg shows the current look on linux 
swing.jpeg shows a standard javax.swing.JFileChooser (from another app)

This should be fixed in Processing and ported over.  Can you submit a bug 
report there?

I think you'll understand that I'm not going to put any work into a software I 
don't
use and then wait a year for my code to get merged with the Arduino-IDE.
If the processing people find this useful they should be the ones to port it...

Since most of the development to the IDE code-base is done by the folks working 
on Processing, it's important 
to keep the Arduino code-base in sync to make it easier to receive updates / 
improvements.  I'd rather not fix 
random little things in a way that makes it more difficult to incorporate other 
fixes and improvements.  If you 
submit a patch, I can try to modify it so that it can be incorporated upstream 
as well, but it won't be a high 
priority.

This is really annoying me as well (and I've only had an Arduino for two days), 
so I've created and submitted a patch against the svn trunk of Processing. No 
idea if/when it will get accepted but you can follow the issue at:

This issue (sort of) fixed itself by moving to Java7.
I work with the OpenJDK7 on KUbuntu and this Java version uses the GTK flavour 
of the FileChooser-Dialog. 

That means it still ignores the users LookAndFeel settings, but at least it 
doesn't look like being an application from the 1990's any more.

You're right OpenJDK7 definitely uses the normal Ubuntu file dialog for the AWT 
FileDialog class rather than falling back to the horrid GTK+ one. This might be 
motivation enough for me to upgrade to Java 7 permanently.

Just to let everyone know that this issue has now been fixed in Processing so 
hopefully should make it's way into the arduino code base soon -- see
