Java misbehaving in Awesome window manager

Some Java apps just don't want to play with Awesome wm.

Basically, recent Java vm is stuffed; presuming that re-parenting window manager is the norm.
Ref: openjdk bug report

Fix for Sun java - set this in the env before launching the app

export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

openjdk may have a different fix. See this Debian bug report

  1. For the benefit of other people coming here through Google, that is probably not the best fix in 2009. I updated the Awesome wiki with all the different fixes and the JVMs they apply to.
