Problem in LVMGUI with openjdk.b24GA2

[Anchieri]

After installing your last GA2 version of OpenJdk I have tested LVMGUI.
The program function almost fine, but the bar menu is not drew (is lack name of menu item).
Pointing the mouse over a menu item is possible to view its own Pull Down Menu and use it.
I attach a jpg file with the view of LVMGUI window without the bar menu.

I can confirm that the same occurs here.

I can confirm that. Though it is not related to ​http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32/ticket/81 since with that one fixed the problem still persists.

Also, there are some other problems. In particular, clicking the right mouse button over a partition box throws a non-fatal exception (instead of showing the context menu):

This suggests that something has changed in the Java runtime in an incompatible way. LVMGUI is VERY old (written for IBM Java 1.1) so I wouldn't be surprised if it uses something completely deprecated in OpenJDK 6. Unfortunately, since we don't have LVMGUI sources, we might not be able to fix this.

In either case, LVMGUI is so badly written that I don't think it makes a lot of sense to invest too much time in it; it may be easier to write an alternative from scratch (and there is some PM alternative in the work AFAIR).

But I will check the main menu issue anyway though. This may be the Odin problem (that appears only in AWT which is used by LVMGUI).

Resolved by ​http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32/changeset/21997

[abwillis]

Actually... I realized that when I did the pull for the above it also pulled:
​http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32/changeset/21998
so it could have been what resolved it.

[dmik]

Hmm, are you sure? I can't see any changes here.

Can you revert 21998 and see if it comes back?

[abwillis]

Hmm, earlier I had launched it and seen the File menu missing, I then did the svn pull and build and copied the files over and then launched it again and had the file menu. I had thought I only had the one prompt open but apparently had another which was apparebntly pulling another java because it indeed is not working now.

I have retested LVM with recently version b25GA3 but if start it without the CLASSPATH of JAVA11 THE PROGRAM don't start or close immediately, to test I have created one lvmgui.cmd that I attach to this bug report and the hs_err_pid87.log and here the output on pm window:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXECPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0x0000005) at pc=0x03dad10c, pid=87, tid=5701645

From the report (execution of code on stack) smells like #161 again.

As mentioned in #203, fixing that defect fixes the original issue of this ticket (the menu) too, I've just checked this. There fore I'm closing this defect. Any other issues should be reported separately.
