BUG: xercesj build interferes with the desktop and fails if it can't

[vincent-opdarw@…]

While xercesj was being built, some application (something related to java) was launched. Though it quit automatically, it interfered badly with the desktop: the focus was stolen and the input source was changed. This behavior is not acceptable: an installation must entirely be done in the background.

This probably occurs because something being invoked (docbook?) is using AWT, which Apple's java takes as a signal that it should invoke a whole UI. I'm not sure that this is the end of the world you describe, but you may be able to get the problem to go away by setting -Djava.awt.headless=true in the appropriate java invokation.

Please let me know, or attach a patch, if you get to the bottom of this.

Thanks for the report.

Is this still a problem with xercesj 2.9.0?

[markd@…]

No response. Closing.

This does still happen in 2.9.1. It should be noted that as a result of this bug, xercesj can not be built without a full login session. If you ssh to a machine and try to build it, it will fail when something is unable to connect to the window server.
