Mac OSX frame resize workaround

2004-03-23 00:36

This is a tip for anyone who might be running iReport under Mac OSX with Java version 1.4.1_01 or earlier (OSX 10.2.8 -- I don't know whether it applies to later versions of Java or Mac OSX).

 

You may notice that you are unable to resize the iReports window vertically. This is a bug in the version of Java mentioned above on Mac OSX (it may also exist on other Mac OSX / Java versions).

 

There is a workaround. Override the method getMinimumSize() in the offending Frame. For example, place the following code at the end of file MainFrame.java (in src/it/businesslogic/ireport/gui/):

 

...(headers omitted)...

 

public class MainFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame implements ReportListener, Runnable

{

...(lots of code omitted)...

 

public java.awt.Dimension getMinimumSize() {

return new java.awt.Dimension(50, 50); // arbitrary minimum size value

}

}//end class MainFrame

 

and recompile using the ant build provided with iReport (ant compile). You should now be able to resize the main iReport window.

 

Hope this helps someone (it helped me),
