Bug#885383: sweethome3d: crashes during start with Cursor exception

Tue Dec 26 16:26:07 UTC 2017

Package: sweethome3d
Version: 5.6+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

After installing the latest version (5.6+dfsg-1 from buster) of Sweethome3D on
my laptop (Lenovo X201) I came across the problem that I could not start the
program.
---> (to cut short the explanation there is a worksforme solution at the end)
Trying to start it from the console revealed that it crashed with an exception:

---------------

As it turned out the main point is:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Width (0) and height (0) must be non-zero
occurred while creating cursor CopyDrop.32x32

which is a known Java bug: see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173853

fixed in Java 8u152 and 9 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-
server/+bug/1232471).

But updating Java (actually installing Oracle JVM as OpenJDK 8u152 is still
unavailable) did not solved the problem even after changing the alternatives.

As it turned out /usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.sh contains a line:
find_java_runtime java6

If I change this to:
find_java_runtime

the program starts and works as expected. (the used java-wrappers script takes
care of using the alternatives version if no specific version is given as a
parameter).

I don't know if this change causes some problems under other circumstances or
the java6 version limitation is needed at all but I think maybe this change
could be included.
