<AWT Dev> Review-request for 8143227: Platform-Specific Desktop Features

[Yuri Nesterenko]

Hi Alexander,

I tried it with Ubuntu 14.04.3, and it started indeed
from dash or a command line as a gray rectangle. Once I added
isSupported() for every Action and separately for the Taskbar,
it reported, just like jdk9b91, that only OPEN was supported
and nothing else.
Is it OK?

dconf editor in com/canonical/unity/launcher reports
firefox as, I presume, a default browser, but I don't see
BROWSE supported.


Thanks,
-yan
