Weld SE container recaf shut down by shutdown hook

The core issue here is probably most likely the changes that nix makes to library loading.
Feel free to see this issue as more of a tracking issue.
(I already tried packaging my software for nix, and it wasn't easy)
I made a package request to nix: NixOS/nixpkgs#267124

NixOS/nixpkgs#220470

Seems like there was a recent similar issue. It has the same caused by block at the end.

[C0D3-M4513R]

I would probably only need to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately...
I only need to find the correct folder in almost 10k...
(I only really have to search like 10, and there are tools that can help with even that)

Also this is technically also related to 4.0 as it is a fundamental issue with nix and lib loading. (excluding 3.0 since that never got past snapshots)

[C0D3-M4513R]

Yep. Can confirm that it launches fine with:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/nix/store/yymhifvd7y7j0iy1m5qqhv5jqh12i7np-libXxf86vm-1.1.5/lib;/nix/store/i7vz86vq34m1rdgc8fnbqzcqp97kj9kz-libX11-1.8.7/lib;/nix/store/qz5n5lpzk4cxvqlvhq2wkxcaz24nypfg-libXtst-1.2.4/lib"

Also these paths might be different for everyone, because of the hashes.
This is NOT a univeral fix, but just a way to get it working temporarily.

I can confirm that recaf 2,3 and 4 all launch with this

Also sidenote: I love the ui updates. v3 felt so much better than v2, and from initial looks that trend continues with v3 to v4.

[C0D3-M4513R]

Seems like there are still some issues with file dialogues.

[Col-E]

I can't really help with things on the native side of thing for an OS I don't run, but hopefully somebody else may have some valuable insight.

[C0D3-M4513R]

I understand a lot more now, and I understand, that 4.x will (as it stands right now) NEVER be available in NixOs (or at least imo), due to it requiring a wrapping launcher.

I have not bothered with making 2.x available, since it just does not have the feature-set I am looking for.

[therathatter]

I understand a lot more now, and I understand, that 4.x will (as it stands right now) NEVER be available in NixOs (or at least imo), due to it requiring a wrapping launcher.

The launcher is just used to keep Recaf automatically up to date and to set up JavaFX dependencies, both of which can be done by a package manager. I don't see any reason why it would never be available.

[Col-E]

As Rat said, the launcher just does what a package manager should do. Its for users who are looking for an easy solution that sets itself up and makes updating easy.

Unlike before Recaf will never try to self-inject or manage JavaFx. 4x is probably more ideal than prior versions in this regards.

[Amejonah1200]

No one forces you not implement this in nix:

https://github.com/Col-E/Recaf-Launcher/blob/256cab79161784fa0f2855f880e4d7c86fa24163/src/main/java/software/coley/recaf/launch/commands/UpdateJavaFX.java#L175

Just download the JavaFX deps, assign the JDK and launch using this:

flake.txt
This flake should do about the same as one of my earlier comments.
It will let you launch recaf in dev mode, thanks to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

A ton of lines here are probably unnessesary. I just took something from another project of mine.
I still haven't gotten the file dialoges to work though. Idk how to properly apply the wrapGAppsHook to a jar file.
