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

[Alexander Zvegintsev]

Hi Yuri,

Nice catch! Just tested on Ubuntu 14.04.3, it does not have libunity.so 
symlink to libuity.so.9.
so we should try to load version 9 instead of 0 in awt_Taskbar.c:
-#define UNITY_LIB_VERSIONED VERSIONED_JNI_LIB_NAME("unity", "0")
+#define UNITY_LIB_VERSIONED VERSIONED_JNI_LIB_NAME("unity", "9")

Updated in place.

Browse action works fine for me on mine Ubuntu 14.04.3. Supported 
actions fills dynamically
in gtk2_interface.c  update_supported_actions()[0]. So probably you are 
running 32 bit JDK on 64 bit
Ubuntu and there are some missing libraries.

Thanks,

Alexander.
