I'd like to be able to run a java program that utilizes the Swing libraries from an X Terminal interface to our UNIX box at work. At the command-line, if I type java SomeProgram where SomeProgram creates a JFrame, it causes havoc with any open xterm. All xterm windows lose their borders, title bars, minimize/maximize buttons and I can't type in them until the java program is terminated.
We have nedit installed, which opens a new window and offers similar functionality to what I'm trying to provide without disrupting existing sessions. What is the underlying unix command(s) that allows nedit or other such programs to open a new window?
