[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48005] menu() does not work without X

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #48005 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed, this is because menu checks


if (isguirunning () || usejava ("awt"))


and the check is succeeding even when it is not possible to use AWT widgets
because there is no graphical environment.

I wonder if usejava("awt") and usejava("swing") should return false if the
widgets can't actually be instantiated because there is no X environment
available. Matlab's help for usejava is not particularly insightful, but I
think that would make the most sense.

Would you like to submit a patch to fix this?
