Running certain Java applications on GNU/Linux can be unreliable. Java applications often use their own mechanisms for GUI and font rendering, which might not work well under the GNU/Linux operating system. | |
On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I found that the behavior of most Java applications can be controlled by supplying predefined variables to the Java runtime in `/etc/profile.d/jre.sh`. | |
``` bash | |
# /etc/profile.d/jre.sh | |
export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' | |
export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Djdk.gtk.version={2,2.2,3}' | |
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true' | |
``` | |
