Splash Screen Always on Top (on Linux) #38
Description
So this is the Issue:
When you run the SDK, we usually ask for your Project Directory.
Since 8.1, Netbeans decided to make their Splash Screen pretty aggressive.
It's on top of File Explorers and doesn't disappear when you try to stop the SDK in Netbeans.
You have to kill the java process. Also see https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=258236
As a Quick & Dirty workaround (since grabbing the window is unacceptable and simply pressing Enter/Escape sucks), I'll hide the splash until the path has been loaded and reopen the splash again.
However! I will keep this Issue open so we can remove the Workaround with 8.2 again.
The workaround introduces a "fatal warning", this is due to the fact that I didn't specify any special version of the core and as such, netbeans considers this a risk since the internal api might change any time. See here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqImplementationDependency
This infact is no problem because the next breaking change hopefully fixes the Splash and if not, it's very unlikely that "getComponent" or "setRunning" will be removed at all..
