issues after porting a mac app from Java 6 to 7u9 (original) (raw)

I have ported an app from Java 6 to 7u9. I am seeing the following behaviors. One behavior is specific. The other is vague and I will need to run the app for a while longer before I come up with a theory about where the problem may be:

  1. Drag-and-drop on a JTable behaves differently. On Java 6, when I drag a cell between locations on a JTable, the following happens:

    • A ghost rectangle appears as the drag starts.
    • I drag the ghost rectangle onto the target cell, positioning it so

that it lines up with the target border, and then release the mouse.

Now on Java 7 the following happens:

Is this a known difference in behavior?

  1. The other problem is probably too vague, but here goes: I seem to have memory management issues. After running the app for a while, it starts freezing up and I watch the beachball spin. Eventually the app becomes unusable and I have to re-start it. Is it expected that I will need to give an app more memory in order to run it on Java 7?

Thanks, -Rick
