Has anyone else noticed that their command line java applications in OSX create GUI processes that steal focus(ie, groovy, maven sub processes)? I’m finding it extremely annoying; probably b/c I’ve been living with it for like 6-8 months since I think OSX v10.6?
How can I prevent java processes from doing this in OSX?
Eventually I found the basic solution:
For Java applications in general you can specify that they are ‘headless’, by adding the option
-Djava.awt.headless=trueto your java application.
