[Bug 984916] Re: Java Swing applications do not work with appmenu

 

Yes, I can help you. Warn me when you create a new version, and I'll try
to package it if I'm available (note: I'm not very experienced).

But, if you would like to package it yourself, look around the Internet to learn how to package software. 
I've learned a lot from "Debian New Maintainers' Guide" (pdf at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/maint-guide.en.pdf).
Launchpad help was also useful (https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading).
If you have my PPA in the software sources (and also enable the source code repository of that PPA), you can run "apt-get source jayatana" to get the source of the package. You could use that as a base.

Title:
  Java Swing applications do not work with appmenu

Status in Application menu module for GTK+:
  Confirmed
Status in DBus Menu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libdbusmenu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Bug #618587 tracks integration of appmenu with SWT, but there appears
  to be nothing filed about integration with javax.swing.JMenuBar
  (mentioned at the bottom of bug #659931).

  Expected (at least ideal) behavior: when running Unity and giving
  focus to a JFrame with a JMenuBar, the menu bar is not displayed
  inside the frame, but corresponding menus are displayed in the global
  Unity menu.

  Actual behavior on 11.10: the menu bar is displayed inside the frame,
  and appmenu is empty.

  For comparison, the Mac OS X JRE automatically displays Swing menus in
  the native location. libjava-gnome-java is perhaps the place to put in
  such a fix; assuming the JRE itself is not modified, an application
  wishing to take advantage of the fix would probably need to try to
  load /usr/share/java/gtk.jar and (if present) call a simple "register"
  method.
