[Native Image] Desktop.isDesktopSupported throws NoSuchMethodError

[ianopolous]

Describe the Issue

I have code which calls Desktop.isDesktopSupported() and this compiles and runs fine with native-image on Ubuntu, but if I build it on Debian 12 then trying to run it errors with:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: sun.awt.X11.XErrorHandlerUtil.globalErrorHandler(JJ)I

Using the latest version of GraalVM can resolve many issues.

• I tried with the latest version of GraalVM.

GraalVM Version

OpenJDK Runtime Environment GraalVM CE 25.0.1+8.1 (build 25.0.1+8-jvmci-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM GraalVM CE 25.0.1+8.1 (build 25.0.1+8-jvmci-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Operating System and Version

Debian 12

Troubleshooting Confirmation

• I tried the suggestions in the troubleshooting guide.

Run Command

./peergos

Expected Behavior

That method should return false if it isn't supported rather than throwing.

Actual Behavior

It throws NoSuchMethodError

Steps to Reproduce

Compile code that calls the method on Debian 12.

Additional Context

No response

Hey, Thank you for reporting this, I will try to request a Debian machine to test this, in the meantime would you be kind enough to share a full reproducer to use.

Sure, this was in Peergos. Here is a repro:

1. Check out https://github.com/Peergos/web-ui/tree/cc9e246399d7a7b53906b4c7e17779292c7a2ab5
2. Run: ant peergos_submodule_sync
3. Run: ant dist
4. Run: cd native-build
5. Run: java InstallNativemage.java
6. Run: java BuildNativeImage.java
7. Run the binary: ./peergos
   If you see the line "Please open http://localhost:7777 in your browser." That is the error handler for the mentioned exception, corresponding to https://github.com/Peergos/Peergos/blob/569f9619760ce67d25495e6ce797bd9b1cb906e3/src/peergos/server/Main.java#L1152
   (We don't log the exception now, but you can easily remove the try/catch in peergos/src/peergos/server/Main.java to see the stack trace)
