Running Java SE Application in Windows Vista


Running Java SE Application in Windows Vista with Aero will cause Windows to automatically change its theme to Vista Basic (without Aero). This is really annoying especially when debugging Java application in the IDE.

A workaround to this problem is to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Release Candidate (download page). Java applications (made with JFrame) would support Aero after JRE 6.0 RC is installed.
