    Java GUI applicatiins have to use the X compatibility layer of Wayland at the moment, because Wayland support hasn’t been integrated into JREs yet

      To clarify: This causes problems like ugly font rendering and some games not working, etc.

      So what you’re saying is, it’s not so much that Java support is missing from Wayland (which wouldn’t make sense to begin with), it’s that Wayland support is missing from Java.

        This is technically correct, and you’re right about where the blame lies, but I suspect for most people holding off on switching, the difference is academic.
