I am trying to use this Java application called Cloud Sticky notes within Gnome, I've used it on Windows and within Elementary os without issue and I've tried to use it in 3 different versions of Gnome.

What's suppose to happen when using the .jar file or at least what happened in elementary os is in place of a system tray icon (which it uses to launch new sticky notes in Windows) a window appears that displays all the settings and a list of collapsed and opened notes, as seen here:

What happens for me in Gnome is the window doesn't appear, I get a java icon in my Dash/Dock(Gnome Sidebar) that I can't close and it doesn't display anything and each note if they're open from another computer will launch in the Dash with the cloud sticky icon, as seen here:

I really love this program and Gnome 3 is my favourite DE, but if they can't mesh I don't think I could go on.

For other users that run into this problem. The root of it is a compatibility issue between Java and the system tray in Gnome 3. Go to CloudStickyNotes.com and contact support (scroll to the bottom to see the email address). The owner (me) will send you a build that defaults to the window instead of the system tray.
