JideTabbedPane issue with LookAndFeelFactory in Linux

[mokun]

I have WebLaF installed.

I called the following

LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(LookAndFeelFactory.VSNET_STYLE);

right before I setup the JideTabbedPane as follows :

JideTabbedPane tabPanel = new JideTabbedPane();

In windows, it works well.

Somehow it doesn't work well in linux and keeps throwing ClassNotFoundException in my app.

It can be traced to this line in LookAndFeelFactory class calling the method

else if (isWindowsLookAndFeel(lnf)) { ...

    /**
     * As of Java 10, com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel is no longer available on macOS thus
     * "instanceof WindowsLookAndFeel" directives will result in a NoClassDefFoundError during runtime. This method
     * was introduced to avoid this exception.
     *
     * @param lnf
     * @return true if it is a WindowsLookAndFeel.
     */
    public static boolean isWindowsLookAndFeel(LookAndFeel lnf) {
        if (lnf == null) {
            return false;
        }
        else {
            try {
                Class c = Class.forName(WINDOWS_LNF);
                return c.isInstance(lnf);
            }
            catch (ClassNotFoundException | NoClassDefFoundError ignore) {
                // if it is not possible to load the Windows LnF class, the
                // given lnf instance cannot be an instance of the Windows
                // LnF class
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

Please help!

👍 One of our clients reported the same problem trying to run our Java application with the Jide OSS library on Mac OSX.

I see that the latest code seems to have removed this problem but the released "jide-oss-3.7.6.jar" does not contain any ".class" files inside it.
Also the Maven repository seems to contain only older versions of Jide:
