The Wakefield committers may hold off-line discussions from time-to-time. Since these meetings are just for the committers and invited wayland experts, summary minutes will be recorded here as time permits

Online Zoom Meeting 9am

PST Feb 29  2024

Attendees: Niels de Graef, Kevin Rushforth, Victor D'yakov,  Alexey Ushakov, Olivier Fourdan, Phil Race, Maxim Kartashev

Phil & Alexey : FOSDEM Free Java room session on Wakefield went well.
Session can be viewed here : https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2154-openjdk-project-wakefield-the-wayland-desktop-for-jdk-on-linux/


Alexey : Not much to report, been occupied with other  tasks

Maxim : Ramped up testing so ran all AWT + Swing groups.
With WLToolkit - 70 % of Swing tests passed and about 25% of AWT tests passed
Trying to run in a weston instance via plugin which supports setting location, pixel grabbing,
input events. First obstacle was the stability of weston window manager which crashed in 10 mins.
Have just implemented a  special mode in jtreg which would run each test in a new weston instance

Niels: Perhaps this helper daemon (written by Olivier ?)  could help

Phil : to Neils: Is there any update adding restore token support in RHEL 9.x
Neils : yes, https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-4526 - shows it is targeted to be fixed in 9.4

Maxim :
Their users when learning that wayland doesn't support setLocation for window positioning are not happy.

Phil: whilst we have screencast for pixel grabbing, libei upcoming for events,
positioning is not something we know the answer to yet. Yes, spec. allows for it,
but it is a practical problem.

Niels: there are proposals around protocols for specific cases
Eg splashscreen protocol but not much upstream interest so far in implementing it
The session management protocol is also proposed
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/18
and there is at least some work going on there :
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/merge_requests/1444
Picture in picture has its own protocol used by firefox

Suggest go to upstream discussion groups and try to  have productive discussions with
But a core API for setting global positioning is a hard pass for the compositor,

Maxim : session mgmt might help Intellij

Maxim: What are Oracle's plans for Wayland
Phil : Finishing up Xwayland support in JDK 22, there's also a need to add support
for XWayland to JavaFX's robot class. Sometime after that we will be able to turn attention
to pure wayland but OpenJDK projects don't have specific deadlines. When they are ready
we can have a JEP to propose to integrate it, but it has to be 100% TCK compliant for that.

Sounds good, we can provide a current branch or prepare a special one in the wakefield for this purpose.

We usually keep packages the same, but we do backports when required. Specifically for the restore token I thought we solve this in 9.3(released few weeks ago). But if it isn't there you can always file a bug for that, and we can internally investigate it.

My advice would be to check the latest available.
