**Environment**:
GraalVM 22.3.0 with jdk 19, Windows OS.
**Description**:
Create a native image of Swing application using GraalVM and run it with ` -Dsun.awt.fontconfig=fontconfig.properties.src` java property.
`java.lang.Error: java.home property not set` error is thrown.
For more details see https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/4875.
**Solution**:
The error is thrown by the code from [FontConfiguration.findFontConfigFile()](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk19u/blob/c9d485792b99233f381dcdfd69838e7b973909bd/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/awt/FontConfiguration.java#L175) method.
GraalVM does not set `java.home` property, that is why the `java.lang.Error: java.home property not set` is thrown.
`FontConfiguration.findFontConfigFile()` method compares `java.home` property to null before checking user provided `sun.awt.fontconfig` java property.
The proposed fix swaps the order of `java.home` and `sun.awt.fontconfig` properties checking to avoid using `java.home` property in case `sun.awt.fontconfig` is set.
**Steps to reproduce**:
- Download graal 22.3.0 jdk 19 for Windows from [GraalVM Community Edition 22.3.0](https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases/tag/vm-22.3.0) page.
- Install native-image
graalvm-ce-java19-22.3.0\bin\gu.cmd install native-image
- Create and compile `SwingSample.java` sample
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SwingSample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(() -> {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello World");
JButton button = new JButton("Hello");
button.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.printf("Hello, World!%n");
});
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
panel.add(button);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(400, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
});
}
}
- Run native-image-agent to generate configuration files
graalvm-ce-java19-22.3.0\bin\java.cmd -agentlib:native-image-agent=config-output-dir=conf-dir SwingSample
- Copy `graalvm-ce-java19-22.3.0\lib\fontconfig.properties.src` file to the sample dir
- Generate native image with configuration files and `-Djava.awt.headless=false `, `-Dsun.awt.fontconfig=fontconfig.properties.src` java properties
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64"
graalvm-ce-java19-22.3.0\bin\native-image.cmd --no-fallback -Djava.awt.headless=false -Dsun.awt.fontconfig=fontconfig.properties.src -H:ResourceConfigurationFiles=conf-dir/resource-config.json -H:SerializationConfigurationFiles=conf-dir/serialization-config.json -H:ReflectionConfigurationFiles=conf-dir/reflect-config.json -H:JNIConfigurationFiles=conf-dir/jni-config.json SwingSample
- Run the native image with `-Dsun.awt.fontconfig=fontconfig.properties.src` java property.
swingsample.exe -Dsun.awt.fontconfig=fontconfig.properties.src
