[Bug 55155] New: running tomcat tests cause terminal to repeatedly grab focus (on os x)

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55155

            Bug ID: 55155
           Summary: running tomcat tests cause terminal to repeatedly grab
                    focus (on os x)
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Packaging
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: clucas@e-miles.com

patch to add java.awt.headless=true for junit tests

On osx, when running tomcat tests via "ant test", "ant test-nio" or similar,
the terminal window running the tests grabs window focus each time a new jvm is
launched for the junit tests.  This makes it difficult/annoying to do other
things in other windows while the tests are running.  I am seeing the problem
on a mac - it is likely not a problem on other platforms.

Setting java.awt.headless=true fixes the issue.  I can't think of any reason
this shouldn't be set for tomcat tests - maybe there is a reason I don't know. 
Anyway, the attached patch adds the property (for junit tests).

No, that isn't what I meant.

Please re-test with the latest source code for 7.0.x/trunk from subversion.

--- Comment #9 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
I haven't dug into this far enough to idenitfy the trigger for this but it
looks like whatever change triggered the probem in Java 7 has been back-ported
to Java 6 but the change that allowed us to change the default for
appContextProtection hasn't been back-ported.

I can't tell if this is an Apple specific issue or one that will affect anyone
using the Oracle (commerical) supported Java 6 binaries.

An additional factor to take into consideration is the general reluctance of
the Tomcat dev community to add work-arounds for bugs in third-party products
(yes the JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener is a pretty big exception to that
rule).

Given that OSX seems to be a fairly popular platform amongst Java developers
then I think your second patch is the way to go for now. If this emerges as a
wider Java 6 issue we can look at using java.awt.headless=true instead.

The patch has been applied to 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.42 onwards.

I don;t see the described behaviour on OSX. This sounds like the AWT issue that
has already been fixed in trunk. (change log entry: Update the
JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener to take account of changes in the behaviour of
java.beans.Introspector.flushCaches() and sun.awt.AppContext.getAppContext() in
Java 7.)

Sorry for not mentioning the jdk version originally.  More digging revealed
what I believe to be a better fix for the problem:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Reference/Java_PropertiesRef/Articles/JavaSystemProperties.html
 (See apple.awt.UIElement property.)

Setting it to true allows awt calls but does not steal focus. I'll add a new
patch.

I ran the tests (again) after updating trunk. Same results (lots of window
focus change). Are you trying the osx built-in Terminal app?  Maybe that has
something to do with it.  I'm running tests under jdk6.  I'll try some more
variations.

OK, I do see it with Java 6. It would have helped if you mentioned that in your
original report.
