<AWT Dev> Review request: 6913179 (The java.awt.FileDialog should use native GTK file chooser on linux distros)

[Costantino Cerbo]

Hallo,

the only change in this new patch is the include of <string.h> and and
<jni_util.h>.

The answers for Damjan:
1) Using gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() in
Java_sun_awt_X11_GtkFileDialogPeer_quit(..) freezes the dialog on
close.
2) This patch is tested with the last code in the OpenJDK repository
and compiles correctly.

I think, we all have done a good job and now it's time to put the
patch in the OpenJDK.

Best Regards,
Costantino
