--- Begin Message ---Package: jabref Version: 2.0.1+2.1b2-1 Severity: minor Hello, Thanks for packaging JabRef! Just noticed some minor issues in the wrapper script /usr/bin/jabref. First, JabRef is not just a GUI, it also accepts some commend line options. Try: java -jar /usr/share/java/jabref.jar --help However, the wrapper script ignores all command line options. I would suggest a simple change: java -jar /usr/share/java/jabref.jar "$@" instead of: java -jar /usr/share/java/jabref.jar Second, JabRef cannot use any "java" that happens to be available in the system; it specifically requires the Sun Java (or some other non-free thingy?). If the alternatives are chosen so that "java" points to, say, /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java, one will get an error message such as this (I copy & paste it here in case someone else is looking for the error message in the BTS): % jabref createDefaultRoot not implemented fireChangedUpdate not implemented Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jabref.MnemonicAwareAction.putValue(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractAction.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.AbstractAction.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.AbstractAction.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at net.sf.jabref.MnemonicAwareAction.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.sf.jabref.imports.OpenDatabaseAction.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.sf.jabref.JabRefFrame.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.sf.jabref.JabRef.openWindow(Unknown Source) at net.sf.jabref.JabRef.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.sf.jabref.JabRef.main(Unknown Source) Naturally, "update-alternatives --config java" and explicitly choosing /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java helps. However, as far as I can see, this is not the default setting even if one has Sun Java installed from the Debian packages. I do not know what would be the right way to fix this problem. Some ideas: - Document the issue in README.Debian. - An ugly trick such as using "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java" if available; otherwise falling back to "java"?
