I have app that uses jintellitype.jar and DLL with Java environment. This is because I need sometimes full not showing of app.
Can be done in JavaFX just using Java and not DLL?
If I understand correctly, the question is about having the application changed to full screen mode using keyboard shortcuts (and not using JIntellitype.dll).
It seems possible in JavaFX using the approach I found here. The example considers to have a MenuBar and its items, e.g. the MenuItem for FullScreenMode. Haven't tried it, but it seems not be dependent on the presence of an equivalent for JIntellitype.dll or anything else.

I am dealing with a peculiar issue.
After spying on a Java GUI that I have made (this might be important or it might not!), I am able to highlight correctly the components of the window.
But when I close the window and then open it again, it fails twice to highlight any component and then it highlights them correctly from that point on.
In order to spy on the elements I have used the Java Mode (I assume that this based on the Java Access Bridge).
Also, when I try to Open Application Navigator, but that also failed, although I have pasted the related files from the java access bridge.
It is really weird and there seems to be no easy answer for my problem.
This is not something specific to Java, and is observed for many applications. Check whether the application needs to load some data from a backend server to function properly. The UI elements of the application might get loaded quickly, however some their attributes might still be loading from a backend server, and until it is full loaded the attributes would not match with the values you captured.
I know the question is very long, but in a nutshell it's just that. As you know Netbeans has a feature with the help of inno setup that allows the creation of .exe installers of Java applications. The problem is that I would like to change the default icon it has (a grey java icon) for a custom one.
I have searched a lot through both Stack and Google and I haven't found anything. The closest it got is to change it via Launch4j. The thing is if it is possible to do it within Netbeans.
Furthermore, I was wondering if there is a possibility to add several languages to the installer and some other features like the creation of a desktop icon. I guess if the option exists it would be in the same place as the change-icon... but I am completely lost regarding this issue.
I'm creating a Win32 application that controls another application which is coded in Java using AWT components. I figured that if I can retrieve the main List of the application and cast it with the JLIB library I'd be able to read its content.
First of all, am I right or I won't be able to get the real content of the List ? If I'm right I'd like to know how to achieve this since I didn't found any good spy software for Java and Spy++ only show a SunAwtComponent. Which I presume in the container for the whole Java application.
I'm not expecting someone to tell me how to do the whole thing but only a couple of direction would be really great since I've been looking for that for a while now.
Thanks for the replies !!!
Quite likely the Java application actually uses Swing, not AWT. Swing draws its own widgets on top of a single AWTComponent, so the list widget that you see doesn't exist from Windows point of view.
I assume you cannot modify this Java application so that it can be controlled over some reasonable API (e.g. JMX or REST)?
You can try running the JVM with JPDA debugging interface enabled. You can then use JPDA APIs to change data structures and directly call methods on any object in that program. Finding the right ones to call will be hard, though.

I know the following things, and was wondering if they can be combined to make Java use jump-lists in Windows:
Windows displays Jump-Lists for supporting programs when a taskbar icon is right-clicked
C++, C#, F#, and VB support this natively (as shown here)
Java can import native capabilities using the JNA (as shown here)
Anybody have experience they can lend to help me create a jump-list for a Java app?
The J7Goodies library won't work, as it no longer exists.
The word "natively" is overstating the case a bit. WPF provides jump list support. That's not the same as C# providing it. (For Windows Forms people there's the Code Pack which is a set of managed wrappers.) And MFC provides jump list support which is also not the same as C++ providing it. Anyway, there are two things going on here. One is adding files you opened recently to that jumplist, which under some circumstances you can get for free. The other is adding arbitrary files (typically starting point templates etc) to the jumplist.
To add a file to the recent/frequent list, you call SHAddToRecentDocs, though you may not have to if, for example, you use the Common File Dialog control to open files, and/or the user double-clicks files to launch your app and open them (you have the file type registered.) Lots of folks suggest calling it anyway to be on the safe side. To add any old thing to the jumplist see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378402(v=VS.85).aspx.
How to call those from Java, I forget, but I hope they get you started.
There is a Java library providing the new Windows 7 features for Java. It's called J7Goodies by Strix Code. You can create your own jump lists with it.
I am working on an Eclipse RCP application with localization. A user should be able to change the language used in the application on the fly. A restart of the application should not take place during this language switch. It should also be possible to switch between languages written from left to right and languages written from right to left.
Is there a (good) way to solve this problem?
According to this thread:
Most of the eclipse libraries load up their language info on widget creation. If you change your locale afterwards you need to restart eclipse to have it take effect.
You could write that kind of dynamic behaviour into your own SWT program, however (when the locale switches, you'd need to call setText(*) on everything :-)
So this is not currently managed dynamically unless you program it yourself...
Other rcp/plugins application like Birt specify the same instructions (i.e. "Restart Eclipse" at the end...)
That said, a slightly different problem was set in this thread:
switch the language setting, restart, and then run in that language
I got it to work by reading bug 222023 and mimicking org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.actions.OpenWorkspaceAction
I tried it manually:
added "-configuration #user.home/.myapp/configuration" to the launcher.ini
added "osgi.nl" to the users config.ini residing there and it worked.
Since I can access the config-Location via Platform.getConfigurationLocation() I guess that could be the way.
Note: adding "osgi.nl" to the webstart jnlp works too.
You would need to call setText on each widget, with the respective text. Since there is no text variable mapping on the widgets, you would have to do that completely manually as well.
