How to install java xmonad patch

Question

Im having focus issues with netbeans & xmonad I think I have a fix http://mth.io/posts/xmonad-java-focus/ however as I do not know any haskell I have no idea how I add the patch to the existant configuration - here
-- make sure to edit paths to xmobar and .xmobarrc to match your system.
    -- If xmobar is in your $PATH, and its config is in ~/.xmobarrc you don't
    -- need the xmobar path or config file, use: xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar"
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName
import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys)
import System.IO
main = do
    xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar"
    xmonad $ defaultConfig
        { manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig
        , layoutHook = avoidStruts  $  layoutHook defaultConfig
        , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP xmobarPP
                        { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc
                        , ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50
        , modMask = mod4Mask     -- Rebind Mod to the Windows key
        , startupHook         = setWMName "LG3D"
        } `additionalKeys`
        [ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock")
        , ((controlMask, xK_Print), spawn "sleep 0.2; scrot -s")
        , ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot")
I know its an exact copy from a tutorial but I do not really want to get into haskell at the moment. I was wondering if someone could tell me how the patch is applied in my case.

Answer 1

While I understand the importance of learning how to patch I believe you could just add 'wmname LG3D &' to your ~/.xinitrc and java apps will work correctly.
Make sure you install https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 86/wmname/
