Hello,
I’m wondering since VP UML is based on the eclipse platform and since eclipse is working wonderfully on linux with desktop effects (compiz or beryl) what’s wrong with VP UML? Starting VP UML with desktop effects switched on leads to a blank screen. A possible workaround is to disable the desktop effects temporarily but still, this is annoying because each time I switch the desktop effects off all the windows get messed up.
I’ve read about a similar issue with other programs and it turns out that there is a problem with java swing but eclipse is swt based, isn’t it? Isn’t there a possible way to use VP UML with SWT instead of SWING?
I really like VP UML, I find it a lot better than similar solutions from Borland and IBM, but this problem is really bothering me.
Here is a reference to the swing problem: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775
The bug is marked as being fixed but that’s not the case at all, seems like sun does not care which is strange because most of the linux distros today run with compiz / beryl as default WM.
