2.1: [BUG] Not working with both GTK3 and JavaFX #14
Description
After adding support for GTK3, I have same bug on startup as when using SWT:
(java:2033): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'GdkDisplayManager'
(java:2033): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
(java:2033): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
I don't know I you can fix this, so please add option for disabling support for GTK3.

Hm, I have some ideas on how to do that.

For forcing the version of GTK to try. What happens if you set
GtkSupport.CREATE_EVENT_LOOP = false?dorkbox commentedon Feb 13, 2016
Hm. SWT likely already loads GTK2 - Let me think about detecting if GTK2 is already loaded

So you're getting this error on Linux? (ubuntu 15.10?)

Is it loading the AppIndicator library?

Ahh, it's a JavaFX thing?

Awesome!! :(
I'll look into it. Sadly, not right away as I'm in the middle of an executable launcher (replacement for java.exe) and context switching is expensive.

Good idea.

I should probably list a compatibility matrix that this has been tested on.

Just ran some tests in a VM -- it looks like the "normal" (non javaFX) version is working, and I verified that the javaFX version is not.

Got it working in Gnome 3.20+ (but not if gnome-shell is installed on-top of Unity... that just doesn't work at all, but UbuntuGnome works just fine).

Still problems with JavaFX (GTK2) on Ubuntu 16.04 (GTK3) -- working those kinks out...
dorkbox commentedon Sep 22, 2016
So it looks like GTK2 on Ubuntu 16.04 is broken in some weird way. GTK2 on xubuntu 16.04 works just fine, GTK3 on Ubuntu/Xubunutu 16.04 works fine -- just GTK2 has issues. This would be why javaFX doesn't work correctly (it uses GTK2).
Edit: Cannonical removed the "application status" indicator panel, so the fallback GtkStatusIcon does not work. Since JavaFX only works with GTK2 (Java9 provides GTK3 bindings), and Cannonical removed GTK2 AppIndicator support,
libappindicator1is the only solution for JavaFX compatibility for Java < 9.dorkbox commentedon Sep 23, 2016
Master branch has the latest -- i haven't pushed a build yet, but I think it's ready, and it will likely be tomorrow that I push the build.

There were some scaling issues with the tray/menu icons. Those issues are getting fixed, and it shouldn't be much longer before I'll have something for testing (it will be downloadable "all-in-one-jars" from my server). If those pass, then I'll push a release.

3.0 beta is released as a "all-in-one" jar, for a variety of different tray types and configurations. I'm starting a new issue to track the progress for this. I definitely will need help testing in different Linux/Mac/Windows configurations (ie: I have no idea if this works in Windows 10, or the latest MacOsX)
I'm closing this issue and tracking everything in a new one. Please use Issue #22 for all related feedback, problems, etc.
